Ko Hoʻo Tohi Fakahinohino ʻo e Lakanga Fakataulaʻeikí

Faʻu haʻo tohi fakahinohino ki ha founga te ke fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko ha ākonga koe ʻa Kalaisí.

Ne tuku mai ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻi Tīsema ʻo e taʻu kuo ʻosí ha fanongonongo fekauʻaki mo e fānau tangata taʻu 11 te nau “kamata ʻalu ki he … ngaahi kōlomu ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné … ʻi he kamataʻanga pē ʻo Sānualí ʻi he taʻu ʻe hoko ai honau taʻu 12.”1

Ko hono olá, ne tokolahi ha fānau tangata taʻu 11 ʻi he konga ʻuluaki ʻo e taʻu ní, ne nau ʻohovale he naʻa nau fakakaukau te nau kei nofo pē he Palaimelí kae ʻoua ke hoko honau taʻu 12 ka ko ʻeni kuo nau kau he tufa sākalamēnití he Sāpaté ʻi heʻenau hoko ko e kau tīkoni foʻou taha ʻo e Siasí kuo fakanofó.

ʻOku ou fifili pe ko hai naʻe ʻohovale lahi taha ʻi he liliu ko ʻení—ko e kau tīkoní pe ko ʻenau mātuʻá. Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau tīkoni foʻou ko ʻeni ʻe meimei toko 80,000, ʻoku nau ʻi heni he pooni mo kitautolu ʻi he Senitā Konifelenisi lahi ko ʻení pe ʻoku nau kau mai ʻo fakafou ʻi he tekinolosiá. ʻOku mau talitali lelei kimoutolu ki he feohi fakatokoua maʻongoʻonga ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí!

Koeʻuhí ko e meʻa makehe ko ʻení, ʻe fakahangatonu mo fakatefito ʻeku leá ki he kau talavou ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné.

Kuó ke faʻu nai ha palani vaʻinga fakatāutaha mo ha tohi fakahinohino ke ke ʻiloʻi ai e founga ke ke tali ʻaki ʻi hoʻo fehangahangai mo e fakafepakí?

ʻI he taimi ʻokú ke fehangahangai ai mo ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi fakaʻulungaanga kehekehe—tatau ai pē pe ʻokú ke ʻi ha haʻofanga kakai pe ʻokú ke sio faiva toko taha pē—ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi hoʻo palani vaʻingá. Kapau ʻe fokotuʻu atu ʻe ha kaungāmeʻa ke ke inu kavamālohi pe maʻu faitoʻo konatapu, ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi e founga ke taliʻi ʻakí. Kuó ke toutou ako pea tomuʻa ʻiloʻi e founga ke tali ʻakí.
