Collaborating to help members of the Micronesian community to understand how they can slow the spread of CV-19, Ma\u00f1elu has translated and recorded public service announcements in Kosraean, Pohnpeian and Chuukese. Choice Broadcasting has edited and produced the announcements and prepared them for airing on STAR101, BOSS104 and ThePOINT. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe were concerned that some members of the community were not getting the information they needed to slow the spread of CV-19 and protect their families from the disease\u201d said Samantha Taitano of Manelu. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all pulling on the same rope and everyone needs to know what steps they can take to \u2018flatten the curve,\u2019\u201d said Ray Gibson, managing partner of Choice Broadcasting. \u201cWe\u2019re happy to do the same for other groups that would like to reach out with their announcements for CV-19 programs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ma\u00f1elu, formerly known as \u201cBig Brothers Big Sisters of Guam,\u201d is a nonprofit organization based in Guam. <\/p>\n
To \u201cflatten the curve\u201d is a statistical term that, in the case of the coronavirus, refers to limiting infections rates.
