Kia
Orana!
Our team arrived on the same flight from
Los Angeles, but originated from Seattle, Boston, and Kentucky.
Our team brings a variety of skills and experiences as it includes students, professors,
educators, and me, the stay-at-home mom. The Kiikii Motel with its beautiful
sunrises is “functional” with spacious rooms, helpful staff, and a great
central meeting area. Today we discussed our goals as individuals for our time
spent on Rarotonga. As a group, we concluded that our goals were:
1. to learn
2. to make global friends
3. to use our skills and experiences to
leave our mark on the local community.
Then, we defined the characteristics of
an effective team as the basis for our team contract. James, our team leader,
helped us understand the mechanics of the native language, Maori, even though
it only has thirteen letters, the different sounds will require some practice.
Mid-day we went out on our own to explore the area. At dinner, we discussed our
local encounters and adventures on the bus. All went well and team members
found locals personable and helpful. We finished our night off with an
excellent dinner. The marinated swordfish is a definite must.
