Office of Vice President Elias Camsek Chin
Special Programs
Vice President Chin has initiated a number of programs since taking office in January 2005 and there are more to be implemented in the future. Here is a brief description of each - check back often as information will continually be added.

Law Enforcement Explorers Program (L.E.E.P.)

This program is designed to take care of our youth at an early stage of their upbringing - elementary to high school. Parents, communities, government leaders and schools will all be involved in the process of helping our youth build character, leadership skills, and restore pride in our Palauan culture.




Big Brother Big Sister Program

The Big Brother/Big Sister Program uses high school students as tutors for elementary school students. Palau High School students are transported to Meyuns Elementary School where they spend an hour after school helping the elementary school students with homework. The Vice President hopes that other schools will implement this program in their classrooms.




Prison labor is used to raise crops and livestock. Prisoners learn useful farming skills and the food used to feed the prisoners, thereby reducing government cost to the run the prison. Prisoners also help communities with their food contributions.






Traditional Medicine

This is a special project of the Vice President's Office to aid in the preservation of Palauan culture by documenting our traditional medicine. We are compiling a list of traditional remedies that will eventually be available online. We welcome input from anyone, so please contact our office to help out.
