Life in South Tarawa
The yellow fin tuna was delivered to the KPC catering team to feed the guests at a meeting held by the Department of Foreign Affair in our Board Room that is hired out.
Every day fishermen are seen going out to see in the lagoon or deep sea fishing and they return late afternoon to sell fish at the street stalls or drive around to fill orders such as this KPC one.
A staff member brought her sick little girl to see me. She had been to the doctors and now on antibiotics for a sore throat.
The mothers of these boys were asked by them if they could have their photo's taken by me as we attended a meeting to arrange village talks at Eita Village
Two of the four women who do contract sewing in the RAK Women's Centre next to our office.
They work really hard each day and were the ladies who taught the sewing skills to the students in the Women's Skills Development Course recently.
Remains of Air Kiribati; RIP. Behind is the runway for the Tarawa International Airport.
We drove the truck down the runway this afternoon on our way back from Karea's Resort in North Tarawa, along with the locals, as a way of avoiding the pot holes in the road. There is an alarm that goes off when a plane is due, which wakes up the air traffic controller, and clears the runway of pedestrians and traffic I am told!
