The 36th Annual Pacific Islands
Bilingual Bicultural Association (PIBBA) Conference was a success! The
conference theme, Our Pacific
Voices, was highlighted in each of the conference days from June 26-29, 2017. It
was natural to hear everyone singing the PIBBA song, which includes all the
languages of the region, such as the following chorus: “Iokwe, Raan Annim,
Kaselehlia, Alii, Aloha, Olomwaay, Hafa Dei, Tuwoh, Mogethin, Talofa.”
Among the entities that attended the conference are
CNMI, Republic of Palau, Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Guam. The mission of PIBBA is to
bring these entities together to promote cultural and language activities by
disseminating information, involving communities, and encouraging quality
education programs through the western Pacific.
Deep gratitude goes out to all PIBBA Conference steering committee
members, and all the entities that joined us to make the 37th Anuual
PIBBA Conference a memorable event that will always be remembered! Kalahngan! Si Yu’os Ma’ase’! Mesulang!
Kuloh! Kinissow! Kommol! Kammagar!
