The Actual pleasure of discovery may far exceed our anticipation.

Dawn came with clouds and heavy surf. Leanne got us started on our day with a great breakfast. James described the 3 elements necessary for the preservation of heritage. Those elements are land, language and culture.We then left for our assignments. Ardys and Dot to St. Joseph’s school. Ardys worked with pre-school children in the morning and tutored English in the afternoon. Dot tutored English and again had the opportunity to teach a geography class.Anne, Connie and Paul again spent the day at the Takitumu school. Connie continued her evaluations and spent some time in the classrooms. Anne and Paul each worked with 5 students helping them with reading. Anne worked the balance of the day on the library computer cataloging the library’s books. Paul organized and refiled library materials.The evening was spent at the KiiKii with Ngara Katuke a representative of the Cook Islands Civil Society Organization and her friends Mariake and Piniki. The three graciously and patiently taught the group the art of making beautiful eis and eis katu. Photos of the group with their artistic creations ended the delightful session.We then turned our attention to another of Sam’s culinary delights.
