Funded by the PATA Foundation in February 2011, the Waan Aelon in Majel (WAM) Visitors Centre, the Marshall Islands, is complete and ready for visitors. The opening ceremony took place on September 27 with US Ambassador Martha Campbell and Republic of China Ambassador George T K Li among the guests.

 

The WAM trainees opened the event with a Marshallese song, which according to WAM Director Alson Kelon, spoke of their ocean, sky, and culture. “These kids were once called night kids, now after joining WAM they have changed to something better,” said Kelon. He also expressed his gratitude to the PATA Foundation for funding the project and the National Training Council for its cooperation. “We are fortunate for the help we have received” said Kelon.
