Field Trip To KIT

Moroni High School Students and Faculty were invited to KIT (Kiribati Institute of Technology), to observe the TVET Programs offered there. About 150 Students were taken on the buses.

The small houses are replicas of actual home designs.  They are resting on food safes which are used like our fridges but without refrigeration. They are used to keep the animals out and general storage.

Carpentry, automotive, electrical, and computer training are a few of the things taught there.  They had some very impressive machines in the shop area.

TVET Open Day

Along with the Cultural Presentations of the various Outer Islands, the TVET Department had displays and demonstrations from each of the classes. 

Student work was also shown and available for sale.

Picnic Tables constructed by the Carpentry Classes were completely sold out.

Singing and Dancing was part of the day.

Cultural Day

Moroni High School held a Cultural Day, in conjunction with an Open School Day. The public was invited to see the displays presented  by students that represented Six outer islands. The TVET Department also had displays for each of the classes and products of the students. This post will show the cultural displays.

Each Island constructed a typical dwelling using local materials. They had a display of local foods and dress from the Island. A presentation was presented to explain unique features of the island.

Kiribati Clouds, Critters and Food

Changing

Clouds and Ocean

Rolling in Boiling out

They come as storms and waves into

our lives

A few critters come and go. 

The birds on the shore. 

Geckos above the door. 

Dogs and Roaches in the store. 

A few people come and go.

Visitors that stay just a few days

Missionaries that stay a while then go.

But always there is food.

And sometimes a surprise.

like glass goblets and two spoons for ice cream.

The Waldrens and Sumners are both new missionary couples helping on Tarawa.  The Waldrens work as a self reliance couple and the Sumners are the new ITEP couple at the school.

And a Lunar Eclipse just for fun.

Return from Abatoa

The island of Abatoa looks like paradise.  There are fewer people therefore not as much pollution.  The plants are very beautiful.
