| Wearing of the cultural tibuta (sibuta or blouse) |
Friday, Aug. 30 (Yes, I'm behind in blogging.)
was the last
day of the second term and it is customary to have a huge celebration. The students showed their parents around the
campus and in the cultural hall students and teachers danced and performed some
skits. They also auctioned some of the
items the students had made in Kiribati studies like fish nets, hammocks, and
woven baskets. After lunch each house
team (Brigham Young, Joseph Smith, etc.) marched and sang for everyone. They had sack races, coconut husking and
shredding contests, tug-a-war, and wrestling contests, and of course the
displaying of the local foods. It was a
fun day. I love watching the faculty and
kids have so much fun with such simple pleasures of life.
