Dr Halapua acknowledges that Tuvalu’s present plight has been brought on by drought.
It rained in Tuvalu last Thursday for about three minutes ”“ and that’s the first rain they’ve seen during their rainy season. There’s no more forecast for the next three months, either.
There are, as far as Archbishop Halapua knows, very few ”“ if any ”“ Anglicans living on Tuvalu.
But that doesn’t mean he didn’t need to go there.
Prayers for Tuvalu [which some may remember as the Ellice Islands, north of Fiji]. Good for the Archbishop for drawing attention to the needs of this endangered country in a beautiful part of the world.
