In the spirit of volunteerism, this group undertook to demonstrate the role that youth ambassadors can play. Through a mutual sharing of knowledge, we aimed to help Marshallese and Solomon students have a fuller understanding of Taiwan while we gained a better understanding of Marshall and Solomon Islands that we could take back and share with Taiwan society. A series of activities were designed for Marshallese and Solomon students that would introduce them to Taiwan at the same time as helping them to see the Marshall and Solomon Islands from different perspectives. This was by no means an easy task, a difficulty that was compounded by the fact that English was to be the language of interaction. But over the course of the two weeks that we had to prepare, we were able to ready ourselves for the task by helping each other and through constant communication. With the assistance of Taiwan’s ambassador to the country, we were able to rapidly familiarize ourselves with the environs. The warm welcome that we received from students there on our first meeting made us look forward with anticipation to the activities we had prepared. These included teaching students how to use genealogical software and Google Earth so that they could digitally plot their kinship trees and living environments, and comparing the spatial arrangement of homes and communities between countries. We can only begin to express the rewards that we took away from this program. Now, we look forward to being able to incorporate some of the knowledge we gained through this exchange in the form of a website and further research for use by the people of Taiwan, Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands. For when knowledge becomes common knowledge, then we can truly be said to be living in a global village.知識志工國際青年大使台灣馬紹爾索羅門群島人類學地理環境資源大氣科學外交部南太平洋Merit (Marshall IslandsexchangesresearchesinquiriesTaiwan) Youth ambassadorsKnowledge volunteersGeographyAnthropologyAtmosphere scienceMinistry of Foreign AffairsSouth PacificSolomon Islands
