 The island communities that have aided in these efforts have collectively received facilities, including schools, community centers, and other important structures.Educational materials, vital medical services, and environmental training have been provided in many programs.When projects are agreed upon with an island community, local rituals often coincide with the start of the project, particularly in the Pacific Islands, where a common custom involves drinking kava, a mildly narcotic drink made from the ground-up root of a pepper plant.
