The sun returned
to Rarotonga! Things are beginning to wind down as our last few days at
Takitutumu come to an end. We are both continuing to support the children with
their reading and writing skills. We were lucky enough to enjoy the children
playing rippa (rugby) and took
several pictures and videos. Several of the children are extremely fast runners
and it was impressive to see this in action. Steph enjoyed singing with both
the preschool children and grade one class today. During one of the songs the
children can get up and dance which included both “jumping up and down” and a
few who showed off their traditional Maori danced skills. We were lucky to be
taken to see a local pearl jeweller and purchase pendants which are made with
mabe pearls. Beautiful and unique. We had a yummy dinner at the Rickshaw for a
Japanese-inspired meal complete with sticky toffee pudding. A late night for us
– 8:37 p.m.! Party animals!
Message of the
Day:
“If you think you can you can, if you think you can’t you are absolutely
right.”
Words
of the day: Mabe and pineapple lumps = chocolate-covered
