Founga ʻOku Fakavaveʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne Ngāué—ʻo fakafou ʻi he Mītia Fakasōsialé

Naʻe tangutu ha ongo faifekau Temipale Sikuea ʻi he sea motuʻa ʻo e Tāpanekale Sōlekí, ʻo sio fakamamaʻu ki ha komipiuta ʻi heʻeku akoʻi kinaua he founga ke upload ai ʻena vitioó ki ha polokalama fakatonutonu vitiō.

Naʻe faifai peá u fakakaukau ki he meʻá ni: ʻoku mau fakaʻaongaʻi heni ʻa e ʻinitanetí mo ha ngaahi polokalama fakakomipiuta faingataʻa, ʻo tangutu ʻi loto ʻi ha fale naʻe langa ʻi he 1800 tupú. Kuo lahi ha ngaahi akonaki fakaofo kuo vahevahe ʻi he falé ni. ʻI he taʻu ʻe 155 kuohilí, kuo fanongo hono kau fie fanongó ki ha kau lea ʻiloa ʻe laungeau ʻi hono tuʻunga malangá, ʻo kau ai ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi, kau palesiteni kehekehe ʻe toko 12 ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, Sūsana B. ʻAnitoni, mo Hēleni Kela.

Pea ʻi he taimi ní, ʻi ha fale fakahisitōlia pehē, ne mau kamata fakaʻaongaʻi ha founga foʻou ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, ko ha polokalama foʻou ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú: ko aú, ko ha tokotaha ʻoku ngāue ʻaki maʻu pē ʻa e YouTube, ʻi hono tokoniʻi e kau faifekaú ke nau ako e founga faʻu ha vitiō ki he mītia fakasōsialé.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W.

Ko ha lea ia naʻe fakahoko ʻe Palesiteni Kimipolo ʻi he 1974—meimei taʻu ʻe 50 kuohilí!—pea ʻoku teʻeki ai ha taimi ʻe toe moʻoni ange ai ka ko e kuongá ni. ʻOku laka ki muʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, tautautefito ki he mahaki fakaʻauha COVID-19 ʻo fie maʻu ai ke fakaʻaongaʻi e tekinolosiá maʻá e kau faifekau he funga ʻo e māmaní—ʻoku mafola e pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí ki he “puleʻanga, faʻahinga, lea mo e kakai fulipē” (ʻAlamā 37:4).
