Recently, T.H. Thomas Falngin, Chairman of Council of Pilung in Yap State and T.H. Paul Marlul, Chairman of Council of Tamol in Yap State wrote to H.E. Wu Wei to extend gratitude for the Embassy of China in the FSM donating 3000 solar powered lamps and 3000 solar powered torches to Yap State.

The letters say that the solar lights are symbols of the enduring friendship and cooperation between the two peoples. They will provide a sustainable and reliable source of light, enhance safety, support educational activities within villages and promote a better living environment for the families with insufficient energy access, like those in outer islands. This generous contribution will be remembered for years to come.

The donation of solar lights were advised by T.H. Joseph J. Urusemal and T.H. Isaac V. Figir, the senators of the FSM Congress and supported by T.H. Charles S. Chieng and T.H. Francis Itimai, governor and lieutenant governor of Yap State, especially by Council of Pilung and Council of Tamol. The solar lights are distributed to municipalities of Yap’s main island and outer islands by the two Councils.
