'Boost education in Micronesia, Marshalls

Again, here is another article on the issue of Micronesians overwhelming the systems in Hawaii and other locations. The Star Advertiser published an article titled "GAO: Boost Education in Micronesia, Marshalls." In the article, the author proposes that more US grant money be directed towards improving health care and education system in the Micronesia and Marshall island nations. Micronesian island nations would include the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the FSM, which consist of the island states of Chuuk, Pohnpei, Yap, and Kosrae. In addition, Gov. Abercrombie is also stating that Hawaii needs help in sustaining the health care and education system provided for the Micronesians here in Hawaii.

In the article, the author is highlighting two proposals in which grant money would be provided directly to the Micronesians islands and their health care and education in addition to directing federal aid to Hawaii's health care and education system. The Micronesian islands are receiving federal aid from the US for the purpose of improving health and education in the island nations. However, it is a more complex matter in which these two aspects of human well-being will prevent the mass of population migration to Hawaii, Guam, and the continental US. The author fails to realize that the island nations are adapting to a westernized way of living. Monetary aid will definitely improve the lives of the people, but there might be more to the migration of the people. The author should realize that this will be a gradual and slow progress towards reducing the population of Micronesians in Hawaii and other parts of the US. This is easier said/written than done.
The author really should do more research into this situation.

For example, in one case, Djou exaggerated on his perspectives on the Micronesian people in an interview with students on the homelessness in Hawaii. I was very heartbroken and upset about his comments because not all Micronesians are moving to Hawaii for the purpose of welfare! And Djou, a big figure here in Hawaii, may have influenced these students with his perspectives. He should've done more research or gain more knowledge about the people before building on more negative stereotypes on Micronesian people. As a Palauan, I sometimes question myself whether I should identify myself as a Micronesian. Will I get a good job outside of Palau if I identified myself as a Micronesian?  This is an example of how I become concerned about my own identity and culture. Simply financing education or providing more grant to serve a goal of quality education is part of the solution. Understand the situation and issue, then maybe we can find the solution to the root of the problem and work our way from there.
