Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Nauru, Niue, Tuvalu, Tahiti, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, American Samoa, Pitcairn Islands, Toele, United States of Micronesia, Palau are proud and part of the Pacific Nation. There are twenty Island Countries in the South Pacific. Most of the younger generation’s spoke English fluently as a second language. We also considered Hawaiian & New Zealand Maoris are Polynesian. Most people with a Polynesian, Melanesian or a Micronesian background. Although many of them are unable to converse in it properly. Schools allocated the Timorese as Pacific Islanders & PISSAM programs are happy to extended its services to them and beyond.
The PACIFIC, The PARADISE, The TROPICAL FLOWERS, the deep blue sea, the ocean the world admires, the beautiful sandy and coral atolls off shores, the reefs, the beaches, the lovely/friendly nature of the local Pacific indigenous people, the coconut tree of life, that must not forsake its reputations, its demeanor, its values, and its belief in God should always remain.
In grief, in sorrow, in happiness, in prayers as we united to stand tall, our hearts and souls in virtually appealing to our pacific leaders, religious leaders, and the people of the Pacific from today onward to uphold our best foot forward, deeds, actions with utmost strength, trust and hard work on the treatment of terrors, injustices that goes in the Pacific, but to ensure services to meet people's need and bring calm, hope, harmony and peace
to remain within the region. In the quake of terrors and the uncontrollable of mother nature, natural disasters experienced by the Pacific Nation encountered in the month of early October, 2009. We
should seek the comfort support and guidance from the Almighty God.
