Betio Wharf and Bonriki Village Health Education


Local Betio fishermen heading out to sea below the jetty. This is typical of the many fishing village households where fish is captured and sold fresh on the sides of the road by the women. With no refrigeration they have eskies or wave branches across the lined up fish and keep them wet until purchased.

Container ship at the wharf; hopefully bringing some cheese that we have run out of again (and craving for)


Tara, Health Promotion Officer, and Tabaina (Women's Centre Co-ordinator) were able to teach pelvic floor exercises with little help from me on this second last village talk. They were able to speak confidently in the local language; a much better option than women listening to my English and then a sentence by sentence translation. Two more people trained to give this talk after I go home!!
