‘DEAR MATAFELE PEINEM’ A moving poem for the next generation... from 26 year old Marshall Islands poet, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, received with a standing ovation at Climate Summit in NY yesterday. - Remembering background to this poem, that some previously gloriously beautiful island homes have ALREADY become un-inhabitable (including people of the Carteret Islands PNG who have already had to leave - refugees who have found a welcome somewhere else. Also Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Maldives and many others already seriously damaged and threatened by rising seas and freak weather events - 1000s and 1000s of people we never see and never hear in our news) https://youtube/watch?v=DJuRjy9k7GA
