Lina Singu is a remarkable spirit. For the past 22 years, she has made it her mission to connect women living in remote villages along the Sepik River by training them to become independent Bilum weavers. In a small motorboat, she travels up and down the Sepik, it’s an arduous journey under the hot sun. At each village, she is met by groups of women, who greet her at the banks to sell their weaving, and it has proved an invaluable life source.
