When we asked him where the closest local school was, his eyes lit up and with genuine pride he told us it was "just there" pointing to the shore a few hundred meters from where we were anchored....
We told him that we would like to visit and he assured us that would be OK...
This morning we loaded the dinghy and visited the Ucunivatu Primary school who serves 12 preschoolers and 68 children in grades 1 - 8.... We met the principal and he and the other two teachers called an impromptu assembly where I was given a chance to speak to the children and then give each of them a pencil case...
What a treat to see these lovely children enjoying the chance to learn...
Here is a few short videos of our time with the children...
And here are some pictures taken while we were visiting:
More schools soon!
