Please support the delegation of the island nation of Tuvalu as they participate in the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Hawai'i.

The Tuvaluan Fatele immerses audiences in the vibrant colors and spiritual power of community.

The event unites delegations and leaders from 28 Pacific Nations.

The ATAYAL Organization is honored to participate in the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Hawai'i by joining and supporting the delegation of the Pacific Island nation of Tuvalu through our Indigenous Youth Ambassador Program (IBYAP). Please what will be achieved with your SUPPORT!

• Introducing the Tuvaluan youth to the Indigenous Bridges Youth Ambassador Program (IBYAP) and connecting them to Hawaiian and Taiwanese delegations at special cultural events at FestPAC Hawai'i. We are developing an MOU to include Tuvalu in our framework of cooperation. The program develops youth to become problem-solvers, culture keepers, and protectors of the environment.
• Connecting the government and cultural leaders of Tuvalu with IBYAP and our partners (i.e. Green2Gold) to develop regenerative solutions to mitigate rising sea levels and culture loss. This includes discussion to take steps to make Tuvalu 100% Green.
• Introducing the Indigenous Bridges Youth Ambassador Program (IBYAP) to the leaders of Pacific Island nations.

The ATAYAL Organization and the Tuvalu delegation are seeking to raise USD $28,900 by June 4, 2024 for the following items:

• The ATAYAL Organization seeks $26,500 for representatives to attend FestPAC Hawai'i to serve as a bridge between the Tuvalu delegation and the participants and partners in Taiwan, Hawai'i and other Pacific nations. (See Proposal)
• The ATAYAL Organization seeks $3,000 for a welcome dinner on June 9, 2024 for the Tuvalu delegation with an orientation meeting about the Indigenous Bridges Youth Ambassador Program.
