Melba Menke Nauru Congregational Church
I am Melba Menke from the Republic of Nauru.
I am here representing the Nauru Congregational Church (NCC).
I have been working in schools for almost a decade now. I love working with children.
Seeing how they grow into responsible adults gives me joy.
I look forward to engaging in the conference and collaborating with you all.
She brings a unique Pasifika perspective.
Last year, Melba attended the Pacific Australian Emerging Leaders’ summit
(PAELS), in Canberra. Attending as a youth member she was
selected through the Regional Ecumenical Youth
Council (REYC), under the Pacific Conference of
Churches (PCC).
Melba is a School Principal and serves as the assistant treasurer of NCC and secretary
for REYC.
The summit’s framework for a shared future identified three
key issues that stand in the way of flourishing Pacific:
rising social harm; ecological destruction; and
challenges to sovereignty.
