This week...

Alo!
Am having a good week - feel like ive been here long enough now to start sugegsting ways to improve things, and start tryingo ut some new things so thats an exciting place to be. Had the VSA programme manager for the Pacific here this week too which has been good to chat about how its all going.

Had ANZAC service this morning - was pretty cool, followed by a breakfast at the pub put on by the NZ and Auzzie high coms so that was a much better breakfast than usual! Had to explain the meaning of the poppy when i turned up at work - everyone thought it was cool!

These girls were given balloons by the VSA guy, and we played baloon hacky for a LONG time - they were just mesmerised by it - pretty fun. And they run round calling me teacha mideam which makes me laugh. (sorry...photo has disappeared...will try put it on tonight)

Opti sailing will start up in 2 weeks time with the first group of kids coming from the youth centre so its going to be fun to ge them in boats and teach them how to sail! And they super keen so im stoked that that is going ahead. Such a cool chance for them. And hearing murmerings about an outreach trip in december to another island which might be cool....otherwise looking at starting up a leadership development club for the youth here who help out with running the place - give them some training in organising, and thinking outside the square, and planning, and fun, and motivation, and goal setting, so im real excited about getting that up and running.

Must go now, but thinking of yas lots and am amazed to realise im getting almost as busy as i was at home....
