Produktbeschreibung

This autobiography gives the readers a glimpse into the events prior to and immediately after the country of Vanuatu became an independent nation. It is a historical account of the determination and drive of the people who pioneered the way forward for a nation (that had been under a condominium rule for decades) to become independent of colonial powers. It is a firsthand account of a man who was involved in the changes, the struggles, and the emergence of a people whose voice prior to this turn of event was not heard and whose interests were not taken into consideration. Most importantly, the nation came out struggling to do the right thing by its citizens. Misbehavior by the elected members of Parliament was dealt with and a code of practice established as a constant reminder that they were put in their position by the people and for the people of Vanuatu. Vanuatu sets a good example of keeping their leaders accountable. The recent action in adherence to the laws regarding corruption was possible only because leaders were called into accountability right from the start. This comes through the pages of this autobiography. The Vanuatu coat of arms and the national anthem echo the desires of the people of Vanuatu for their leaders. As long as the anthem is sung, it serves as a reminder that the nation was founded on Christian principles and will continue to uphold Christian principles because righteousness exalts a nation (Proverbs 14:34). Long God yumi stanap!

Autorenporträt

Born in an obscure village on a remote island, Miriam had a very humble beginning. Fatherless at two years of age, she was raised by her entrepreneurial grandfather. Her grandfather's father was from Bourbon, now called Reunion Island. Because her grandfather knew the value of education, she was sent to school and was the first female from the area to go to a university. Since then, Miriam has traveled to several countries to study, including the United Kingdom. Although she now lives and works in New Zealand, her love for her nation remains strong. Editing this autobiography gives her a strong sense of keeping in touch with the nation and people she dearly loves. The historical content of this autobiography as well as the love for her uncle gave her the drive to make this book available for the people and friends of Vanuatu. Miriam hopes to see the educational struggles in Vanuatu as well as in the Pacific change so that teaching is compatible with how Pacific children learn. She has a vision and is behind a team that is building a school where she was born and raised to put into practice this very change. She believes her system will have the opposite effect to the present situation in Vanuatu and the Pacific as a whole, which educates only a few and produces a massive population of semi-illiterate citizens. This contributes to youth crime, teenage pregnancy, and the spread of communicable diseases.
