I was a charter member of the Guam National Guard, and the 731st MP Co. was activated 21 July 1981. The unit was being decommissioned just prior to Desert Shield/Storm. The unit had a strength of about 10 - 15 personnel who were processing equipment, much of which had already been turned in. When the unit was activated for Desert Shield/Storm, it was difficult to find volunteers to fill the unit, so a platoon from the USAR 368th MP Co on Guam was activated, and one of its members became the unit's commander. Additional personnel came from volunteers from Hawaii, California, and Alaska. There were soldiers with a variety of ethnic backgrounds to include personnel from the islands of Micronesia. Gen Perez aptly dubbed the unit Patriots of the Pacific.

Often I see so many wonderful sentences but I have no idea what the words are. I spend so much time looking through dictionaries trying to find the words only to fall short and fail to learn the meaning because I cannot find the word's translation. It is so hard to learn a language, when I come to it and there is nothing for me to reference it's meaning with. <br /><br />I want to learn the language very much.... I just wish, if someone wrote a paragraph in Chamorro that they also included the definition of each word they used so that I could look at the sentence, see the way it is used, see the definition and comprehend what is being said. <br /><br />You're someone I very much look up to.

I am aware you wrote this report several years ago, though I feel that a lot of what you stated here are relevant to today’s issues concerning the decline of the Chamorro language and language revitalization. Thank you for sharing these thoughtful remarks. They were beneficial for me to know. As a Chamorro reader, coming from parents who are both Chamorro, and being born and raised in Guam, based on my experiences and observations, I agree with what I read here. As I strive to learn to speak Chamorro fluently and to speak it at home and pass it on to my children, I will consider the tools you have given me here to help me become successful and to help others learn Chamorro and bring it to life! Not long ago, I have developed a great passion for learning Chamorro, promoting its preservation and revitalization, and bringing to focus the significant role language plays in keeping a culture alive and celebrating it! Below are some excerpts that really stood out to me from your report, although everything you had to say had a wow-factor on me and left me with thoughts to ponder on. I am curious to know if a lot or a little has changed today in regards to what you discussed here:<br /><br />“For whatever reason, little action was taken on this bold initiative, and thus the state of Chamorro language use and vitality has continued to decline. This disconnect is not limited to government inaction however, but reflects a larger problem found throughout homes in Guam, where the talk of language preservation or revitalization is loud and forceful, while the action is constantly left up to others or refused completely…”<br /><br />“One clear reason for the continuing language loss is the narrowness of the incorporation of Chamorro language in public schools. Chamorro is taught not as a “language” but as a “foreign language.” Rather than being the key language of instruction, the means through which the world is opened up through systems of traditional/accumulated knowledge to the minds of those on Guam, Chamorro language is reduced to an accompanying language only. Hardly a necessity, it is instead a luxury language, which accompanies the real language of instruction and reality, English…”<br /><br />“Furthermore, there is little to no immersion infrastructure to support daily language learning and use. As alluded to before, Chamorro is not the primary language of instruction in any public school programs or classes, there are relatively few spaces which encourage the younger generations to use Chamorro, and language attitudes and habits amongst many of the last fluent generation prevent or hinder its transfer…”<br /><br /><br />“If parents, relatives and others in the community do not help the child with their language learning, then the impact and effect of immersion schools will be severely limited as few young children will have the ability to self-motivate themselves to continue using a language which their community does not seem to readily support or encourage…”<br /><br />“The need for impartial yet nurturing spaces such as these is that the tendency to tease and be overly critical of young Chamorros who are trying to learning their language often pushes them to give up trying. The drive of these young Chamorros to retake their heritage should not be extinguished because of something as trivial as kase’ and so its important we create a place where they can come to with their questions or confusions so that their passion can be maintained and pushed further and not diminished.”<br />CHARMAINE WESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036196661430656127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875725.post-41631314575292877342015-05-11T16:29:52.942+10:002015-05-11T16:29:52.942+10:00Thanks for sharing, nice post!

Our hotel inventory consists mainly of resorts. They know the impacts their stay has on the local economy and society, so they will want to mitigate their impact and increase the wealth of the local people. <br /><br />Resorts really only bring in mass-tourism. Tourists who travel in packaged tours, stick to an itinerary and, don't spend as much on island. These tourists are also not very concerned about the local economy. <br /><br />If we want more locally focused tourism, we need to amend the GCA on the chapter of Hotel Development and consider changing where GVB directors are appointed from. <br /><br />Hotel development incentives are focused on developers who build 200+ hotel rooms and who will invest a minimum of $5,000,000.<br /><br />It also doesn't help that many board members are involved in business in Tumon, their goals and plans will be biased towards Tumon. They will want to protect Tumon business.
