Remembering the Girmitiyas: A Legacy of Strength and Resilience! Pacific Islands AI Commemorates Girmit Day
Across the waves, a journey vast,
Hope and fear, a bond held fast.
Girmityas strong, with hearts ablaze,
Leaving home for unknown days.
Under sun’s harsh glare and rain’s cold sting,
They toiled and dreamt a future to bring.
Blood, sweat, and tears upon the land,
Foundations laid by a resilient hand.
Their legacy lives in every beat,
Of vibrant cultures, diverse and sweet.
From struggle born, a spirit bright,
We honour them, their enduring light.
