Tkai's Year 5 Exhibition

Tkai, Rikki's son, is in 5th grade and in Fiji, we are at the end of the school year.  We went to an evening at school where the kids presented their final projects.  I was so impressed.  They took on big topics like poverty, pollution, crime.  The concepts were presented in skit form which made them understandable and realistic.  A sick mother sending her kids to beg for money on the streets.  The kids are found by a red cross worker and found aid and relief.  Each kid spoke to the audience on a microphone, and they each presented a diarama made to explain and educate.  It was an amazing evening that we all got a lot out of.  Most notable to me was how well spoken and confident every kid was.  The school teachers have high expectations of the students and the students delivered beautifully.  There was a concert too, all the kids learn guitar, flute and singing.  I wish I had better pictures, I mostly took video so don't have pictures to post.
