PLEA FOR HELP before the paralysis sets in

PS: We Kids are after change. There's a certain climate of apathy looming over the Pacific, and Samoa is no exception. Western Samoa once was a haven of sustainability, but, today, our unique tourism assets (our water supplies, forests, fish and other seafoods, tropical fruits, coastlines, climate, corals and soils/air) are in peril - perilized and paralysed.

Climate health now a serious threat to us Kids. Even our food security is being threatened as climate change impacts on our health - the latest climate health reports are staggering, predicting new diseases, more pandemics, more lives lost.



We Kids wanted to, very quickly, publish our poems, draft filmscripts and short stories, seeking your comments and possible interest in turning this 'Plight of Pacific Kids' account into a possible documentary or even a Kids' adventure film, growing-up in the South Pathetic, sorry, the South Seize.

After all, we Pacific Kids have reason to be concerned, and good reason to think that someone out there will hear our cries from the Pacific.

As their father, I’m anxiously trying to correct these ills within the Pacific in my own small way, but the problems lie fairly and squarely on us adults failing to do the right things (e.g. failing to implement anti-corruption legislation, making it illegal to harvest, sell, export even import our natural resources, and much more).

We all look forward to the possibility of one day publishing alone, or even jointly, should anyone of you be at all interested in taking our poems, scripts and short stories to another level.

THANK YOU, faafetai tele lava
