马绍尔群岛因 "人人有水用 "的成就而受表彰

马朱罗--周六晚,马绍尔群岛因成为世界上第二个实现联合国可持续发展目标 "人人享有洁净水 "的国家而受到表彰。

马绍尔群岛的一个全志愿者妇女组织带头开展了一个为期五年的项目,为这个由低洼珊瑚岛组成的多水国家的每个家庭提供家用简易水过滤系统,该组织因此而受到表彰。

与 Kora In Okrane 或 KIO 俱乐部合作支持供水项目的便携式过滤系统制造商 Sawyer International 的总监达雷尔-拉森(Darrel Larson)说,马绍尔群岛是仅次于利比里亚的第二个实现联合国可持续发展目标六,为每个居民提供清洁水的国家。

KIO 俱乐部周六晚在马朱罗举行晚宴,庆祝完成向马绍尔群岛 8,000 多户家庭提供家庭水过滤系统的全国性计划,并对岛民进行了使用和维护培训。

KIO 俱乐部主席 Angeline Heine-Reimers 说,这项为期五年的计划之所以取得成功,是因为与多个政府部门、其他非政府组织和私营部门建立了伙伴关系。她说,考虑到前往人烟稀少的偏远岛屿的海上旅行的后勤工作,这是一项艰巨的任务。

I started out as a newsletter writer/editor for the Micronesia Support Committee from 1975-1984. During this time, I was also a freelance writer for various magazines. I started as a newspaper reporter with the Marshall Islands Journal in December 1984 and had my first byline story in the paper in the December 28, 1984 edition. By the end of March, 1985 I was named editor of the weekly newspaper, a position I have held since that time except for a couple of periods of about a year in the early- and mid-1990s.
