Women's Voices: Oh My Islands in the Sun!

You may remember the amazing 1961 documentary "The Sky Above, the Mud Bellow" in which some explorers were trekking with great difficulty through the then unexplored Papua New Guinea. You might also have seen the beautiful Rogers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical "South Pacific" drawn from the James Michener's award winning book Tales of the Pacific. That was in 1949!

Papua New Guinea and the Solomon's Islands are Women's Voices destination today. But don't put on your Hawaiian shirt, white shorts and flip-flops yet, the next ten minutes are going to be an eye opener. Ferid Belhaj, country director of the South Pacific region of the World Bank is our special guest.
