Hi Terry,<br />
If I may say, that all gratitudes and appreciations should be credited to the Rawson family and their friends that have never stopped helping our people back home on Rabi regardless of all issues that had been thrown their way. I believe that what happened last time was just an hicckup within the turmoil of politics but politic is over so is this issue, but it is a good learning curve for us to be more careful in future not to jeopardize the good will and intension of others who are…
Hi Terry,<br />
If I may say, that all gratitudes and appreciations should be credited to the Rawson family and their friends that have never stopped helping our people back home on Rabi regardless of all issues that had been thrown their way. I believe that what happened last time was just an hicckup within the turmoil of politics but politic is over so is this issue, but it is a good learning curve for us to be more careful in future not to jeopardize the good will and intension of others who are willing to help the unfortunate the best way they can. Just to let you know that I met the Rawsons on Rabi last June, still maintaining and continue their volunteer work with the SDA back home. This is their passion that only comes from the heart. God Bless them and all involved.<br />
Hey Terry, are you planning to be elected next election from Uma? If you are then you better start your course on politics..... take care.<br />

Hi, big man Ken......<br />
Thanks a thousand times for digging so deep to get to the root cause of the problem. I do believe there are people who are willing to help but, might turn a blind eye on us if we don't give respect to where it is due.<br />
I heard of the restoration of the Dorcas building with a family staying at Rakera's place if I am correct, but have no idea that such a "good Samaritan's" kind effort would be turned into a political agenda. I pity the mentioned campaigner but, if he could…

Thanks a thousand times for digging so deep to get to the root cause of the problem. I do believe there are people who are willing to help but, might turn a blind eye on us if we don't give respect to where it is due.<br />
I heard of the restoration of the Dorcas building with a family staying at Rakera's place if I am correct, but have no idea that such a "good Samaritan's" kind effort would be turned into a political agenda. I pity the mentioned campaigner but, if he could verify his point regarding this issue would be fine, otherwise?<br />
On a personal note, I want to thank every individual, group or organization that have granted out of a heart of love assistance to our beloved Banaban community on Rabi.<br />
I wish to urge my fellow Banaban brothers and sisters to cherish our God given cultural values and virtues that drives unity, peace and harmony with one another and friends from other nationalities.<br />
For a better and prosperous Banaban community......Go Rabi Go!!!!!<br />
I am not campaigning, just sharing a neutral view.<br />

I would like to clarify the Butau campaign problem. The reason why I asked Ruth to write to Rabi Council of Leaders was to clarify her link with the SDA members -Nuku Rabi because Butau had printed material from the Rawson website and the Banaban website and started campaigning saying that Ruth's aid project was suppose to go to the Banaban Community ( if you have read Ruth's letter to the RCL then you'll know that Butau had lied big time).<br />

I would like to clarify the Butau campaign problem.

<br />
I had been contacted from Rabit to clarify the truth behind this matter and that is why I contacted Ruth personally to clarify the matter in writing to RCL.<br />
<br />
Butau didn't stop there but went on lying saying that Chairman Teatu moved this Aid fund to the SDA Nuku. This sort of campaigning should stop. Butau should consider the damage he can cause even to people like the SDA church members. Also our elders who could not speak English but listen to him and the good friends of Rabi SDA-the Rawsons and other IMatang who love the Banabans. The reason why I bring this issue up is only for one reason and that is ' that we do not want these websites we sponsor to be used for the spreading of misinformation just as Butau has done.<br />
<br />
Now I hope this issue is closed and I won't go on any further on the matter and all has been properly clarified.<br />
<br />
To all the Banabans living away from the island, I can assure this matter has been well discussed back on the island and the people back home are very aware of what has been said. Let us get on with life and hopefully whoever get voted into the next Council will get our support 100 percent.<br />
<br />
To all our Banaban friends vote well and let's hope in the future that people's good intentions are not destroyed by personal gain. Hope its a lesson for all of us!<br />
<br />

In this case there is only one side to the story. Go to Ruth's blog at: http://rawsonsrescue.wordpress.com/ and read all about her continuing work on Rabi. Why do some of the people back home have to now twist people's good intentions (especially regarding a church project) and turn it into a political issue. No wonder half the te I-Matang's who have tried to help the Banaban community in the past run a mile when they end up getting their good intentions turned into some else.<br />

Can we hear the other side of the story too cause there is always two side. What was the campaign message that exist which might be true or false about the rebuilding the SDA Docas community hall?<br />
This candidate, where did he get his information from? I wonder if its his own assumption thinking that the Chairman of RCL is a former SDA Rev Minister so he (Candidate) thought the chairman might allocate some funding for the building?Just an opinion? Or what was all behind this story?

Thanks Ruth sorry for this little mix up, but we all know of your wonderful heart felt good intentions for helping your Banaban friends and good on you!<br />
<br />
It's always a shame when good intentions get twisted around to be something else. That's why it is important to make sure that misinformation is addressed and corrected.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work!<br />
