Indians in Pohnpei, Storms in Saipan and Elections in Palau...

Hope you have a great weekend! 









If you're in Pohnpei... check out the Indian Navy ship that pulled in yesterday.  All those Indian Sailors are walking out and about.  They'll be here for two days meeting with the Government, and promoting all things Indian including their Indian Technical & Economic Cooperation Programme which we as FSM citizens are qualified to participate in.  What else are we eligible for? Education and training wise:


- COM-FSM with pell grants
- Australian Awards Pacific Scholarships
- Japanese Government Scholarships
- Chinese Government Scholarships
- New Zealand Government Scholarships


Aren't we lucky??  I'm grateful for these opportunities for our children.. what did Whitney sing again?  "I believe that children are our future... treat them well and let them lead the way".. RIP Whitney. 


Have you heard about the Kiribati weightlifter who uses humor and dancing to bring attention to his sinking island nation?  I saw his very funny and inspiring video .  What a great way to stand up, compete and share your story!! 


In Saipan, it's tropical storm condition 3 .  God bless you our brothers and sisters in the CNMI. 


In Palau, President Tommy Remengesau Jr is squaring off against VP Antonio Bells, Sen Whipps Jr and Sen Sandra Pierantozzi... It's 2 Jr's , a bell and a belle.  Here is a transcript of their recent debate. 


Beautiful view -- looking out from the causeway !!







Look down! and you see the trash!
Sorry, my camera quality isn't that great... but you get the picture :)




Here is a great story I mentioned in an earlier post.  Pohnpei's Lt Governor Reed Oliver donated 40 percent of his salary to his people who are not insured to be referred.  This is great! We need more people like this in our government, and just everyday life. 


Here's an instagram mention from a world teach volunteer in Chuuk. All I have to say is waioooooo!! :)


Have a great weekend!
