Here is the Highgate team from Dunedin

They are enjoying the warmer Pacific weather

Checking In can takes a while

so we arrived a 5.30am at the airport 

for a 7.00am take off to Paama Island

This is the East Taieri team from Mosgiel

(near Dunedin).They are going to Tanna

for a school visit for a week and warmer temp's

(everyone is leaving Dunedin for the winter)

Here is a picture of the Church at Waisisi village.

A full rebuild started in November 2017

They made all the blocks by hand, & went to the beach 

to collect sand & coral for the cement work.

The Iron roof is now on 

so its windows and doors to be completed before 

Opening 25 August 2018 

The team with Dr Jaco from Papamoa (near Tauranga)

of the fun gifts

The team also did some paintings which are shown

 in the back ground on this photo's

Paintings are on cement plaster walls

thanks to Dr Jaco and team

We have both been like two Roosters lately 

up early and going to bed late, with mission teams 

coming and going to outer Islands 

Here we have the team returning from Tanna

after being in the village for 6 day's.

They have helped with the funding of the

total rebuild of a Church at Waisisi Village 

This team just wanted to ride on the back of the 

truck,which they thought was great

We thank them for making this rebuild project possible

We have been trying to move some project materials

to Paama Island, but without success. With the bad weather

and shipping schedule changes, its been a huge problem.

And another frustration today, the Port authorities have stopped loading

and unloading of all vessels at the pier.

Macses School  project is finished and a great addition to the school is

A rubbish incinerator, and was painted by the St Kentigern team.

A school sign was painted by the ladies in the team.

No 2 Rubbish Incinerator at Etas Grace School  A proud mission worker 

who had a big part on building this.

Up go the swings, as the children eagerly wait for a turn 

We had to move a big  huge coral rock,

 so there was a great team effort

and we WON.
