    This Bilum was lovingly woven by artisan weaver Barbara Pagasa. Barbara lives with her husband, Michael, in Mount Hagen in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. She is a wonderful ambassador and aggregator of Bilum for Among Equals and also a much-loved group leader and dedicated program coordinator at House Of Hope, a refuge she established for women requiring healthcare. Barbara takes these women in with tremendous compassion, warmth and kindness.
