    Extractions: February 1999 TOC Preface Introduction Africa ... Appendixes Tuvalu, with about 10,000 primarily Polynesian people, occupies a land area of a little more than 10 square miles on 9 atolls in the central South Pacific. It became independent from the United Kingdom in 1978 and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Its Constitution provides for a Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. Tuvalu's Head of State is the British Queen, represented by the Governor General who must be a Tuvaluan citizen. The judiciary is independent. A 32-member police constabulary, the only security force, is responsible to and effectively controlled by civilian authority. The primarily subsistence economy relies mainly on coconuts, taro, and fishing. With donor assistance, Tuvalu has developed a well-managed trust fund, which is supplemented by significant annual payments for use of international telephone dialing prefix. An agreement was reached during the year for the use of the country's Internet address, which has the potential to increase government revenues by as much as $50 million. Remittances from Tuvaluans working abroad as well as the sale of postage stamps and of fishing licenses to foreign vessels provide additional foreign exchange. Tuvalu's isolation and meager natural resources limit the prospects for economic development.

    Extractions: Index Preface Overview Africa ... Appendices Tuvalu, with about 10,000 primarily Polynesian people, occupies a land surface area of 26 square kilometers on 9 atolls in the central South Pacific. It became independent from the United Kingdom on October 1, 1978, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Its Constitution provides for a Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. Tuvalu's Head of State is the British Queen, represented by the Governor General who must be a Tuvaluan citizen. The primarily subsistence economy relies mainly on coconuts, taro, and fishing. Tuvalu depends heavily on foreign aid, mainly from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Taiwan. Remittances from Tuvaluans working abroad as well as the sale of commemorative and thematic postage stamps and of fishing licenses to foreign vessels provide additional sources of foreign exchange. Tuvalu's isolation and meager natural resources severely limit prospects for economic self-sufficiency. Tuvaluan society is egalitarian, democratic, and respectful of human rights. Social behavior, as determined by custom and tradition, however, is considered as important as the law and is ensured by the village elders. Land is also key to much of the structure of Tuvaluan society. There were no reports of specific human rights abuses. However, in the traditional culture of the islands, women occupy a subordinate role, with limits on their job opportunities, although recently there has been substantial effort to accord women equality in employment and decisionmaking.

    Extractions: Volume : Tragedy and Trauma in Tuvalu A.J.W. Taylor , Emeritus Professor, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand. Email: Tony.Taylor@vuw.ac.nz Keywords: school fire, trauma and ghosts, cross-cultural factors AJW Taylor PhD DHC Emeritus Professor New Zealand Abstract The key components of project that was designed to assess and reduce the trauma that prevailed after a tragic fire in a dormitory at a Secondary School in the small isolated Pacific Island State of Tuvalu are presented here, and indications are given of the outcome. They pose questions of a clinical, conceptual, and organisational kind that might arise in other cross-cultural settings. Tragedy and Trauma in Tuvalu Introduction At about 11 p.m. on Thursday 8 th March 2000 a fire broke out in one of the dormitories for girls at the mixed-sex Motufoua Secondary School on the island of Vaitupu in Tuvalu. It was thought to have started from a naked candle that a girl held under her blanket as she was doing extra revision for a class examination that was to be held the next day. The conflagration spread rapidly and caused the Matron and 18 of the residents to be burned to death. Eighteen other girls escaped the inferno, only three of whom suffered burns. Its traumatic effects on the total Tuvalu population of about 10 000 was widespread, and said to be in proportion to the immediate loss of either 8 000 New Zealanders or 25 000 Australians in any one calamity in their respective countries. The response of the Tuvalu Government was to establish a Commission of Inquiry into the causes of the fire, and to seek the help of a trauma consultant from New Zealand in dealing with the human aspects of the aftermath.

    Extractions: Reformierte (%): Tuvalu, formerly the Ellice Islands, is an independent atoll country with a Polynesian language and culture. Tuvalu consists of a scattered group of nine coral atolls with poor soil located halfway between Hawaii and Australia. The country has no known mineral resources and few exports. Subsistence farming and fishing are the primary economic activities. The islands are too small and too remote for development of a tourist industry. Government revenues come largely from the sale of stamps and coins and worker remittances. National independence was achieved in 1978. Kirchen Te Ekalesia Kelisiano Tuvalu
