Going live

(village life on the island of Tarawa)

WELCOME

Finally I've made the decision to let all family and friends know of my newly created blog site.

Welcome to everyone new to the world of blogging. It does take some effort to work out how how to move around the site.
If you wish to be a Follower; whereby you receive updates on what Peter and I are doing then please click on the Follower icon that allows you to do this. Then, when a new post is put up there, by either Peter or myself, then you will receive it in you email inbox.
I am hoping to put up interesting information about Kiribati as I become more  familiar with uploading photos and adding various features to make it more interesting.
By the way, Kiribati is pronounced "Kiribas" by the local population, not Kiribati as it is spelt.

Researching Tarawa

This is a photo of the island of Tarawa where I will be living for three months. This picture shows just how fragile the islands of Kiribati are and being only three metres above sea level global warming is the most serious threat to the future of the islands.

Preparation Time

Peter and I attended training in Sydney for three days along with twelve other volunteers who will be heading off to various countries throughout the world this year. Having returned home it is now time to get serious about preparation for Kiribati and thinking about immunisation, visas and resources to take. Biggest concern right now though is how to work this wretched blog site. Two hours and it is still not happening the way I want it to!!
