In line with the Regent, the Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe also hopes that the student dormitory will be used as a house of prayer and learning for all students who inhabit the dormitory.

According to him, education is very important, especially for the young generation of Papua to focus on learning to complete their education and return to contribute in their home region of Yahukimo Regency.

"So this is your home, a house of prayer and a house of study. I am grateful that God brought Onesh to prepare this place, and brought Didimus to build and prepare this dormitory for the children of our next generation in the future," said Governor Enembe.

The Papuan Student Dormitory has a building area of about 403.46 square meters. The dormitory can be inhabited by 22 students or up 50 percent from its previous capacity.
