The surf continued to pound but with somewhat less ferocity than the previous day.After another delicious breakfast prepared by Leanne, the crew set off for the day.Ardys volunteered to assist with the move of the Cook Island Red Cross to its new facility. Anne and Connie were able to see the new facility when Ardys was left off. This new building is cyclone proof and will be the cyclone shelter for this part of the island including the KiiKii residents.Ardys spent the day going through old files and destroying those that were no longer applicable.

She continued to tutor students in English.Anne and Connie went again to the Takitumu School. They were treated to a magnificent concert by the students. The quality of the singing is remarkable.

We were then called to “Morning Tea.” This was a feast of local dishes and fruit.Anne then continued cataloging the library’s collections. Connie continued in the classroom.At 6:30 we all met at the covered area of the KiiKii. A group photo was taken by a fellow resident of the KiiKii.We then traveled to the Raviz Restaurant for a wonderful Indian buffet. We were joined at dinner by Engia Pate her daugter Maggie and son.
