"Don’t let your dreams for tomorrow be restricted by the difficulties of today."

A freighter past by the Kiikii as dawn turned to day light. Another day of sun, the sound of surf and sudden showers has begun.After a breakfast of walnut pancakes, the team departed to our assignments. Ardys and Dot again worked at St Josephs school tutoring students in English. Anne, Connie and Paul travelled to TakitumuSchool where they also helped students with their English skills. Annes work at the library was compromised by the presence of computer gremlins. Connie continued her professional support of the school staff and Paul entered part of the teachers manual into the laptop.After dinner which featured lamb chops and spiced sausages, the team watched a documentary which depicted life in the Cook Islandsduring the mid 1900’s.Ian Karika stopped by and gave an energetic history of successful efforts at the Takitumu conservationArea which helped save the Kakerori (Rarotonga Flycatcher) from extinction. Ian then humbled Paulby presenting him with a staff shirt of the Takitumu Conservation area embossed with the Fly Catcher.

We retired to our rooms with the light of a full moon shimmering on the waters of the South Pacific.
