Thu Nov 14 12:58:41 US/Eastern 2002

Iakwe - love to you all people and nations on this Earth. Whatever or however you think commonunity mean, it is very important to an individual freedom and happiness. Im my culture to help yourself - family or the clan come first in my cutlure after that will be your personal need. We have a custom that what material you gained, especially food. must be share with your relatives or neigbhors. Even if it is a small amount, but you need to share it what so ever. This an opposite view of American personal need come first. This is a real tradition: Material and money collectiveness is share amount the family member. This is how we been taught for thousands of years. Share so that you can have a fair loving life with your brothers and sisters. To be happy on the Pacific Ocean Island of the Marshall Islands we happily say: Iakwe!!! it means -you are as beautiful as the rainbow. Come Join us and be happy!!!
