ABSTRACT
The ultimate test of human conscience may be the willingness to sacri‚ce something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.
There is a proverb among South Sea Islanders that states: It takes a village to raise a child. This maxim holds a truth that extends well beyond the village. Namely, for a village to be socially and environmentally sustainable and healthy, it requires a unifying factor to integrate the myriad interactive components into a functional whole. And, that unifying factor is the villager’s focus on the children.
