TOKELAU: Atolls get new schools and hospital

Updated November 27, 2007 16:53:43

The three tiny atolls that make up the New Zealand territory of Tokelau are getting upgraded schools and a new hospital. New Zealand's assistance package to the territory of three and a half million Australian dollars will pay for the new infrastructure. Officials say the new projects were approved well in advance of the recent referendum on self-determination for Tokelau, which was defeated by only a handful of votes.
