Fatherless at two years of age, she was raised by her entrepreneurial grandfather. Her grandfather’s father was from Bourbon, now called Reunion Island. Because her grandfather knew the value of education, she was sent to school and was the first female from the area to go to a university. Since then, Miriam has traveled to several countries to study, including the United Kingdom. Although she now lives and works in New Zealand, her love for her nation remains strong.
Editing this autobiography gives her a strong sense of keeping in touch with the nation and people she dearly loves. The historical content of this autobiography as well as the love for her uncle gave her the drive to make this book available for the people and friends of Vanuatu. Miriam hopes to see the educational struggles in Vanuatu as well as in the Pacific change so that teaching is compatible with how Pacific children learn. She has a vision and is behind a team that is building a school where she was born and raised to put into practice this very change. She believes her system will have the opposite effect to the present situation in Vanuatu and the Pacific as a whole, which educates only a few and produces a massive population of semi-illiterate citizens. This contributes to youth crime, teenage pregnancy, and the spread of communicable diseases.показать меньше
