Pohnpei State Organization Tours Babeldaob |
|
|
Eighteen Pohnpei State Organization
(PSO) members headed out to Babeldaob this past weekend to tour. Their first
stop was Ngerulmud, the new capitol building in Melekeok. There the students
were amazed as they were briefed on the history of the capitol movement as
written in the constitution, the permanent transfer of the capitol to enable the spread of the economic development in Palau, and the significance of the capitol structure and engineering to promote the democratic principle just as the United |
States capitol building, and the compact road. Afterwards, they headed out to Ngirngemelas Square in Ngiwal before stopping at Bethania High School in Ngaraard for lunch and a tour of the campus. After visiting the east coast of Babeldaob, the students went around the other way to Ngermeskang, Ngaremlengui where they toured PCC's Cooperative Research and Extension Station and learned about its agriculture research and its importance to the local community. The Pohnpei State Organization members would like to thank Mrs. Limasang Tem, BHS Principal, for allowing the students to tour their campus and have lunch there. They would also like to thank Dean of Students, Marensia Edward, and Director of Student Life, Deikola Olikong for their support in making their trip possible. |
