FFT is beyond grateful for this opportunity to have an open, educational dialogue with Haritha TV about our grassroots movement and the struggle the Tuvaluan nation is facing.
We further want to thank Haritha TV correspondent Samoda Silva who is one of our many volunteers, for her ongoing support, giving us this platform and congratulate her on a successful broadcast!
Samoda Silva's statement:
"I’m going to be completely honest; I did not know anything about Tuvalu prior to this segment. I hadn’t even heard of the nation, and I don’t expect anyone to have heard of it, considering it’s tiny stature.
However, this little island will have a huge impact on how we respond in future to a looming issue we do not seem to want to confront: the very real effects of climate change, and the very real loss these effects will bring.
Thank you very much to James Dimas and everyone at Fight For Tuvalu for trusting me to share your story and your incredible fight. Thank you to Haritha TV for carrying this message that I think is so deserving of a platform. Thank you to Ajit Karthikeyan and Lokesh Barani Kumar for all of your efforts and patience with me. And finally, thank you to those who have just shown interest or engagement with this project, I genuinely appreciate it all.
Please visit www.fightfortuvalu.com and support the people of Tuvalu by taking the pledge. I really look forward to seeing what the wonderful people at Fight for Tuvalu continue to do for the Tuvaluans that desperately need worldwide attention to receive united, international support. If this is the undeniable, inevitable reality of our world, then it is our responsibility to face the music, and play our part."
