: We seek a community where every person’s potential may be fulfilled. Quaker Proverb

The day began in the usual way with a beautiful sunrise, the thundering surf and a delicious breakfast prepared by Leanne. Then we were off to work. Paul and Connie spent the day at the Apii Takitumu assisting Principal Engia Pate. Paul acted as gardener and trimmed vegetation around the buildings all morning. The workday was shortened for a special graduation ceremony for all Island graduates. Connie was pleased to go and watch friends she has taught be honored.Ardys and Dot were with Sister Celine at the school of St. Joseph. They cleaned more of the library , two classrooms and raked the Pre-school yard. It was hot work but the breaks were sufficient and the teachers friendly. New students were registering during all day.Anne spent the day with Sister Margaret working on a grant she was preparing. She is requesting UNESCO provide funding to replace a roof and rehabilitate a building to be used as a classroom for the prison.On the way home Anne enjoyed a swim in the beautiful Pacific by the “Fruits of Rarotonga.” In the evening James and Debi accompanied us to the Aquarius restaurant for a wonderful fish dinner. Once again the food was very flavorful and the atmosphere calming.
