Hope Island
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Hope Island, a place of great anticipation.
Why?
Well, because prior to our arrival and even more important the arrival of Dr. Premdas and the staff of N.A.S.A. there wasn’t much hope. The small island inhabitants had no school, the children were left to wander the beaches during the day while their dad’s were off fishing the seas and their mothers were on the main land trying to make a living.
All of this is beginning to change. Aaron is now living on the island and organized the children and has formed a school. A meal program has been implemented so that the children are guaranteed at least 1 meal a day. A women empowerment and possibly a micro-enterprise solution will be introduced and last but certainly not least, exploration on their water situation is taking place.
