On April 8th, 2026, Buk bilong Pikinini (BbP) marks 19 years of giving children across Papua New Guinea the gift of reading, learning, and the confidence to succeed in school and in life.

It all began in 2007 when Anne-Sophie Hermann, wife of the then Australian High Commissioner Chris Moraitis, who noticed a simple truth: children in PNG had very limited to no access to libraries or school libraries, and too few opportunities to fall in love with learning. Inspired to make a difference, she with the assistance from the Port Moresby General Hospital Administration and kind hearted volunteers created the first Library Learning Centre (LLC) in a tiny corner of one of the Paediatric Wards at Port Moresby General Hospital for children admitted in the hospital. From that small space, filled with just a few books and big dreams, a movement was born. Today, Anne-Sophie continues to serve as Vice Chairwoman of the BbP Board of Directors and is deeply involved in the daily running of the organization and its programs.
