At the 14th New Life Family Walkathon on May 13, 2012
In some countries, the land is gradually narrowing because sea levels are rising due to global warming. Among them, Tuvalu is the first country on the planet, which is destined to disappear.
Tuvalu is a beautiful island country in the South Pacific. Since the highest point in the country is 4 meters (13ft) above sea level, a significant portion of the country has already submerged. Funafuti, the capital city of Tuvalu, flooded long ago. For this reason, Tuvalu eventually declared renunciation on their land in 2001.
When I heard the news about Tuvalu, I felt very sad. I’m also worried that the earth is in great danger. As we are living in the same global community, we are also susceptible to suffering the same pain as that of climate refugees of Tuvalu.
The crisis of Tuvalu is the crisis of Earth. Let us raise awareness about the reality of Tuvalu to everyone around the world even online and let them become interested in it. I also ask you to pray for the hopeful future of our neighbor Tuvalu.
