DESCRIPTION:

NOTES:
Children as treasures and assets
NOTES:
In Micronesian culture, children have always been considered valuable. This is underscored by our saying that “The more children one has the more wealth one women are considered to be the life line of a clan. More people means more hands to accomplish shared tasks and visions in the community. This explains why we have never considered large families and having many children as a burden of having more mouths to feed. To the contrary, more children mean more people, and more people mean more food and opportunities for families and communities to thrive and develop.
