Trump Sulabh Village

【星島日報報道】美國總統特朗普言行出位，經常成為國際焦點，印度一個慈善團體便借他的名氣， 提出把一個小 村莊以特朗普命名，以宣傳向窮人提供廁所的重要性。

這個專門為印度窮鄉僻壤捐建廁所的慈善組織蘇拉巴國際（Sulabh International），推動把馬羅達小村改名為「特朗普蘇拉巴村」（Trump Sulabh Village）。

雖然當地約400名村民不知道特朗普是何方神聖，但為了有免費廁所及振興旅遊業，都十分贊成為 小村改名。不 過，興建廁所的資金與特朗普及美方毫無關係。

蘇拉巴國際的負責人指出，為小村加上特朗普名號，可以促進印美良好關係，並有助吸引遊客。

負責人說：「特朗普是領導世界國家的總統，所以我選擇以他命名。






Ah Neh Jamban Kumpung Trump!

Toilet charity leading effort to rename Indian village after Trump

Many of the villagers said they had no idea who Donald Trump is. But they are delighted that their village elders agreed to the promotional gimmick because it means they will receive free toilets in each of the village’s 60 or so mud-built houses.

MARODA, INDIA—A charity that provides toilets to poor Indians is leading an effort to rename a tiny northern village after U.S. President Donald Trump, saying the gesture is meant to honour relations with the U.S. and draw support for better sanitation in India.

The new name, Trump Sulabh Village, is not official, and so will not appear on maps. The charity’s name is Sulabh International after the Hindi word for “accessible,” which is meant to describe the simple pit toilets it builds for free across a country that has too few.

Many of the 400 villagers said they had no idea who Trump is. But they are delighted that their village elders agreed to the promotional gimmick because it also means they will receive free toilets in each of the village’s 60 or so mud-built houses. None of the funding for the new toilets is coming from Trump or the U.S.

“I don’t understand why they couldn’t name it after our own prime minister,” said construction worker Sajid Hussain. Still, he’s happy for the toilet-building initiative and hopes it is followed with funding for education, electricity and other improvements.

For an inauguration attended by media Friday, organizers coached villagers to shout “Zindabad!” which means “Long live!” each time they shouted Trump’s name. The ceremony was staged just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads to Washington, D.C., for a sit-down with Trump.

The charity’s founder, Bindeshwar Pathak, acknowledged that naming the village after Trump was a stunt aimed at drawing more attention — and hopefully funding — for their efforts to improve sanitation across India.

“Trump is the president of the leading nation in the world, so that’s why I chose him,” he said.

The fact that there are few toilets in the dusty village of Maroda, about 70 kilometres north of New Delhi, is not unusual. More than 60 per cent of the country’s 1.3 billion people still defecate in the open, and dysentery kills hundreds of millions of children every year.
