Preserve Our Heritage: Help Save the Trolii Heritage Taro Patch!

Dear Friends, Family and Everyone,

I'm reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to join me in preserving and enhancing a vital piece of our heritage: the Trolii Heritage Taro Patch located in Melkeok, Palau. Within this sacred land lies a very specific place deeply ingrained in our culture—a place that holds profound history, mythology, and connection to our ancestors.

For generations, the Trolii Taro Patch has been more than just a piece of earth; it's been a sacred ground that embodies the essence of our identity and heritage. Within its boundaries, nestled amidst the lush greenery, lies a place of immense significance—a place that demands our attention and protection.

This special land within the Trolii Taro Patch is part of our cultural heritage, a sacred ground that connects us to our roots, it's a repository of our history, a sacred ground that speaks to the very soul of our community. Here, amidst the swaying taro leaves and the gentle murmur of the river, lies a historical stone path—a path that once led to our old village of Melkeok.

And in that old village, surrounded by the whispers of time, lies a stone courtyard—a place of gathering, ceremony, and reverence. Upon this ancient courtyard rest the graves of our old ancestors, their presence a tangible reminder of the countless generations that have come before us.

Now, as we face the pressures of modernization and environmental change, the Trolii Heritage Taro Patch and its sacred place are at risk. Without immediate action, we risk losing not only a physical space but also a piece of our collective history—a piece that connects us to our roots and defines who we are as a people.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today. Together, we can ensure that this precious heritage site continues to thrive for generations to come. Whether through financial contributions or volunteering your time and expertise, every bit of support counts.

Join us in our mission to preserve and protect the Trolii Heritage Taro Patch and its sacred place. Let's honor our ancestors, celebrate our culture, and safeguard this sacred space for future generations.

With gratitude,

Marilyn Jane David
