WAVE WEEK MOLDOVA

CDA: Your Excellency, it is almost 1 year since you are the Ambassador of the U.S. to Moldova, how would you describe Moldova and what does our country mean to you?

H.E. Pettit: I consider Moldova my home and its peo-ple my friends. Moldova is a beautiful country with tremendous human potential. The people of Moldova share our desire for a democratic, responsive govern-ment free of corruption and striving for the welfare of its citizens.

CDA: In the present context of the political, econom-ic and social situation of Moldova, what can citizens of Moldova as a nation do to be happier?H.E. Pettit: Moldovas citizens must do everything possible to hold the government accountable and make it responsive to the needs of all citizens and not just a few.

CDA: Despite political, social, religious or personal beliefs, the citizens of the U.S. celebrate diversity and are first of all proud of being Americans. How can Moldovans be more united?

H.E. Pettit: All citizens of Moldova should share a common vision of what it means to be Moldovan. This vision should not be based on language, ethnici-ty, religion or political views. Rather it should be based upon a shared history and experience and a love for the culture and the land.

CDA: For more than 20 years, the US Government has invested and supported the mutual learning and

exchange of best practices between citizens of Moldo-va and the USA. What do you think the USG Alumni can do more to make a change when returning home?

H.E. Pettit: Change can be accomplished in many ways. I would encourage participation in both gov-ernment and civil society. Donation of time or re-sources toward causes that improve the nation can have a meaningful impact.

CDA: What does national/social solidarity mean to you?H.E. Pettit: It means universal acceptance of a Moldo-van identity that allows for individual differences.

CDA:What are your wishes for 2016?H.E. Pettit: My wish for 2016 is a more prosperous

and democratic Moldova focused on fulfilling priori-ty needs and providing hope and a better future for a new generation.

CDA: Thank you very much.

INTERVIU

ADC: Nu eti la prima vizit n America, prin ce te-a cucerit aceast ar?

ANA: SUA au o cultur grandioas, adic et plu-ribus, unum mai multe culturi formeaz un ntreg divers. Este un stat n care funcioneaz un sistem. Nu este neaprat cel mai perfect, dar este unul progresist. Poporul e servit de ctre guvern, iar acesta la rndul su i asum pe deplin responsabilitatea. E un stat altruist prin definiie! Anume prin acest lucru m-a cucerit!

ADC: Faci parte din comunitatea absolvenilor FLEX, cum a influenat acest program i ce nseamn el pen-tru tine?

ANA: Experiena din programul FLEX a fost i este una definitorie pentru cine sunt azi. Bucurndu-m de bunvoina poporului American la o vrst n care nc eram confuz, dar tocmai la momentul potrivit de frmntare, am revenit acas n 2011 cu un credo nou. Deja de mai bine de 4 ani cultiv cele nvate, att la nivel personal, printre prietenii mei, ct i la niv-el de comunitate, prin proiectele pe care le-am iniiat sau n care am fost parte. ADC: Ce ai nvat n Statele Unite i ai vrea s aplici sau deja implementezi acas?

ANA: Datorit experienei mele n programul FLEX am deprins un spirit civic foarte activ. Voluntariat-ul practicat in State m-a determinat s rspndesc aceast practic i acas. Astfel, i astzi am la zi multe proiecte, oameni pe care i-am cunoscut. Aa am inii-

at coala de lideri locali Viitorul (care a ajuns deja la a III-a ediie), am ajuns s fac parte din echipa de organizare a Festivalului Voluntarilor i mai am nc cteva iniiative pe care le las drept surpriz.

Masajul definitoriu care m-a marcat personal a fost o replic de-a judectorului Montgomery: Noi, oamenii din sistem, venim i plecm din funcii. Ceea ce nu trebuie s uitm e c legile au fost i vor rmne indiferent de existena noastr, iar ele sunt justiia nsei..

ADC: De ce moldovenii ar trebui s aplice la astfel de programe finanate de Guvernul SUA?ANA: Dincolo de diferenele culturale, pe care cred c unii le in n buzunar drept frici eseniale, recomand cunoaterea, ba chiar descoperirea unei altfel de lumi. Cultura nu poate fi nvat de la televizor sau prin reele sociale! Realitatea din SUA poate fi aflat doar prin interaciune direct!
