Book Inspires Pacific Youth
ADB Review [ January - February 2004 ]

By Keech Hidalgo (chidalgo@adb.org)
Editorial and Production Assistant

Nineteen ni-Vanuatu women, each with different lives and different stories to tell, share one thing in common: they are successful in their chosen careers and have made significant contributions to Vanuatu society. Ni- Vanuatu Role Models (Part One) Successful Women in Their Own Right, sponsored by the Vanuatu National Council of Women and funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), was produced to inspire young girls and to be used as curriculum material for secondary school students. By their examples, young women can learn, recognize, and be inspired to emulate these women; and young men can gain a better understanding and respect for women who strive to achieve in traditional and nontraditional roles.
