As a longtime friend of the Solomon Islands, let me say the aim of this website is to bring you news about the Solomon Islands, promote tourism to the "Happy Isles” and generate donations for causes in the Solomons that will provide income for charitable institutions dependent on aid and help to give much needed money for local craftsmen and women.
I would encourage you to see for yourself a most unique and different part of the world and meet friendly, hospitable people while enjoying the sheer delights and beauty of a easy accessible Pacific paradise.

After many, many years of having my own letters, and posts that I referred from reputable publications world-wide mainly dealing with health issues and possible new research intervention that could be informative for the MHMS in the Solomon Islands, all my recent efforts to add fresh stories and referred posts to the Solomon Islands newspaper Facebook page have been removed, or maybe deliberately blocked.Frank Short, 05-Sep-2023
The Solomon Islands will soon be hosting the 2023 Pacific Games in Honiara which, although a relatively short-term event, I hope it will have lasting benefits in terms of promoting sport as a means of reducing a proportion of the overall health issues of the population
