		<description><![CDATA[The people in the Northwest region need a Center on Weno we can truly call our own, a place that unites the three regions of Pattiw, Pafeng, and Namonweito, and advances our common efforts in educational opportunities, economic development, health care, leadership training, cultural preservation, and other services for our people. Therefore, we call on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An educated citizenry is the key to breaking the cycle of disempowerment among the people in the Northwest region in Chuuk. No single issue deserves top priority in the outer islands today than the ensuring of adequate education for our children. It is imperative that our young generations of outer islanders are given all the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“We cannot separate action for justice from the proclamation of the Word of God.” Inspired by the words of the late Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, Jesuit Superior General (1965-1983), we call for a political system that is inspired by faith. Our small island communities with close relationships and deep abiding faith in God have been [...]]]></description>

The government must provide adequate funding, leadership, and programs to educate the public in the proper stewardship of our natural resources.

		<description><![CDATA[Having Access to Information &#38; Resources! The distance of the outer islands from the main centers poses a real challenge of access to resources and valuable information. In a technologically advanced age, there is no reason why these outer islands should not have information readily available to them. But it takes efforts and leadership to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Empowering Women’s Leadership Roles! Much like the rest of the world, Chuuk is undergoing a paradigm shift in recognizing the importance of women in leadership roles. Women have traditionally been the backbone of the family, a role that has over time become a cause of injustice in today’s democratic government; today, many Chuukese men expect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reuniting People On Issues Rather Than Relations! Political campaigns and elections have become a source of divisiveness and corruption in our families, clans, communities, State, and even our nation. On one hand it has become standard practice among many incumbent legislators to use government funds to buy votes. On the other hand, we citizens have [...]]]></description>

Since the Compact of Free Association went into effect, there has been a steady exodus of outer islanders in search of better life for themselves and their families. Many of our outer islanders living overseas in Guam, Hawaii, and the mainland have established their own base of resources. We [...]]]></description>

Ironically, they have also been the least resourced. Their voices are not readily heard because of the cultural misconception that youth means inexperience rather than energy; that youth (hemirit) means lack of wisdom when in fact [...]]]></description>

Despite millions of dollars of Compact funds aimed at capital and economic improvement projects in the Northwest region, all we have to show for are bankrupted Pattiw and Namonweito Authorities, rusted fishing boats, fiberglass boats. All the ill fated attempts [...]]]></description>
