Humidity hangs in the air...and aqua marine sea glints in the sunshine..four warriors arrive at KiiKii to join Connie on a mission to make a difference through service. After a nice breakfast prepared by Leanne, Pauline and Harry we got down to business. James opened the orientation meeting, greeted and thanked us all for being here. After introductions , we had some housekeeping announcements and a brief discussion about work assignments. When we broke up for the morning some had a rest, went into town, walked to Super Brown’s Corner store and before we knew it we were back in the Vaka Lounge for our afternoon session of Orientation Part 2. Personal and group goals were discussed and listed in order, characteristics of an effective team were duly noted and a Cook Island Maori Language class closed the afternoon session. We shared a lovely meal of local dishes cooked by Sam Puati during which we talked about food and nothing at all. I could see some volunteers fading as they fought to keep their eyes open, so it was time to call it a day...looking forward to being part of Vaka 125 and cannot wait to see the children in the schools.
