♪ I go wandering once again
back to the seasons of my youth.
I recall a box of rags ♪
My name is Ruby. Terubeimoa Nabetari.
And I'm from Kiribati
and my role in my organization is drama composer, song composer
for our advocate to the public.
[wind blowing]
For the climate change for us, people with disability in Kiribati,
very, very dangerous for us.
Dangerous because if the climate change happen
and also the droughts and flood
and like people with disabilities live in the village
and there is no clean water. They use water from the well
and the water from the rain and the big dam.
So it's very dangerous, especially for the women,
because they have no water,
clean water for the drink and also for the wash.
[Ruby singing a traditional Kiribati song]
I think drama is very important for our organization,
especially for people with disabilities, because sometimes we have no time
from the NGOs or from the government,
but we decide to produce our drama
and deliver our message through drama to the people
in our country, communities and NGOs,
especially for the the government, for our issues.
[Singing Kiribati song]
I need my government, our voice,
to invite us to all
decision maker like the policy.
I don't want them to leave us behind.
[Ruby instructing]: Move to the side.
[Ruby instructing]: Back, back.
I don't want the drama to stop,
but I want the country to support the drama.
But because the drama is powerful for our voice,
for us people with disabilities.
[Audience claps along as Ruby sings traditional Kiribati song]
[Ruby instructing]: Bow your head, and then, that's it.
[Applause]
