Old artifacts could be an Opportunity.

Old handicrafts could be a big opportunity to set up a museum in our area. Hundreds of the collections are being discovered and excavated. It is wiser to put on display once the set up is established.


For instance, an old stone axe was discovered after the 2007 April earthquake & tsunami which elevated the island of Ranogga. The finding was located at the site where a shocking event took place way back at seventeen or eighteen century. The raid was done by people of Isabel Island resulting their head warrior was beheaded during that event The finding was believed to be that head warrior which he’s the next to the chief of Bugotu tribe. His head was brought to the sacrifice site which can be seen today.

 Such history may keep alive at all time and it may be one of the beneficiary factors to improve education to primary and secondary schools.

Kumana’s Promise could be Dangerous said a close Relative .



A close relative of Aaron Kumana who is from Kumana’s tribe said that Kumana’s promise to his community could be affecting his (Kumana) reputation and his family. 

The relative said that, for almost 5 years now but nothing happens. He also said that the frequent visitors from the USA had been reminding the community of expecting some positive result from them.

Kumana’s promise somehow could be hiding out from the back of everybody's mind but may spoil his reputation and his family.

 Also there has been disagreement from kumana’s tribe, for being requested Kumana to leave his home for a day trip on the tourist boat. This may allow him to catch cold and he is aging and such request may affect his health. 

In response, Kumana’s grandson stated clearly that such request may allow him to be part of his solidarity with his USA friends, and moreover is to relieve himself from the ongoing stress which currently affecting him since he lost his beloved wife.
