		Gau is the 5th largest of Fiji’s 332 islands and home to the nesting grounds of the endemic Fiji Petrel, Pterodroma macgillivrayi.
		And on the island of Chuuk, where mangrove forests (invaluable habitat for small fish, crustaceans and other animals) are quickly being cut for use as firewood, a Rare Pride campaign is focused on creating a powerful constituency for natural resources.
		Now airing throughout the islands is the Rare-sponsored radio serial drama “Changing Tides” which is directed at raising awareness of environmental threats and the effects of unchecked population growth on small island nations.

		At the time of the purchase of the island Captain McInnes already had a ninety-foot streamer on the stocks at Orillia which was launched and given the name of the town in the spring of that year.
		Because the island is two or three miles out from the mainland, and five or six miles from the town of Orillia, and thus the strongly religious and Christian sentiment which over-awes the Sabbath-breaker and dissipator is not present here to the same degree as in permanently formed and stationary communities.
		The number of seminarians regularly using the facilities of the island began to dwindle due to a decline in their numbers and to the fact that many of them were opting to take university summer courses or do social work with underprivileged boys.

		The Loloma Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) entity that was formed to support the heavily burdened medical/dental system already in place in island nation of Fiji.
		The number of health professionals practicing in Fiji is at a breaking point, leaving a good portion of the population living on the outer islands with no primary medical or dental care.
		Aggravating this lack of care is the "brain drain" found in many underdeveloped countries--last year nearly one third of all health care professionals left the country of Fiji stretching the medical infrastructure even further.

		The reason: Fijians are the friendliest people on earth and a visit to Sawaieke is like being invited home by a new friend -- multiplied by the 150 or so villagers who normally turn out to welcome us.
