Jayapura (ANTARA) – Papua, the easternmost region of Indonesia, has seen significant progress due to the electrification process carried out by state-run electricity company PT PLN.
The electrification, in addition to powering up Papua physically, has brought a ray of hope to communities in the region’s inland areas.
The electricity, flowing through remote locations and villages covered by forests, has opened up new possibilities for Papua to grow and develop.
Electrification does not merely mean access to electricity for people in Papua, as it also serves as a foundation for the region to grow its economy and pave the way for a better social life.
Charles Toto, a local chef, has been playing a vital role in bringing progress to Papua through gastronomy.
He has been actively introducing and promoting authentic dishes made of ingredients gathered from Papuan forests.
