Thank you to the many people who have supported both Peter and myself over our volunteer placements at KPC . It has been the most wonderful experience; learning from the local people as well as passing on our skills as best we can.
The people we met will remain in my heart forever, their patience and kindness as they guided us through some challenging times especially the staff of the Women's Centre... the amazing team pictured below.
May you continue the good work you are doing to empower the women of Kiribati.

Just a note to those who were impressed with the healthy eating and weight loss programme initiated at KPC. Pete smugly thought he had lost some weight and eagerly jumped on the suitcase scales at the Bairiki airport and reeled off them at a staggering 108kg in shorts and Tshirt... a total of 5kg up from the start of the weight loss programme (though he grasped at straws saying maybe 2kg could be the shorts and T shirt!).
Hence he will now be placed on a frugal diet while in Fiji...in my dreams!
The Gender in Local Government three day workshop participants; a learning time about the problems and suggested solutions to equality issues in Kiribati.
