What an interesting night! There was a wedding today and on Tanna the women stay up all night preparing the food to loud music. The service was at 8.30 am in the Church but the team were already up at the school by this time. We did however get to see people heading to the reception later with their gifts of yam etc.
Tried my hand at building today! The wood had arrived - Praise God! So I helped Andrew and George put up some boards on one of the end walls. I learnt to use a hammer properly after about 20 attempts to hit a nail! Every time Gavin came near me with the camera I stuffed up, which included smashing my thumb at one point. That really hurt so I decided to leave the building to others after this.
Played volleyball with the girls after lunch. Some of them are really good and apparently there are two teams on Tanna. The girls train on a Friday afternoon. They were enjoying the portable net that Darryl had brought over.
The school wanted a new sign, so they cut the wood and the girls painted it white. I was hoping to start on it today, but it didn't dry in time.
Got to have a cuddle from a little boy called John who fell asleep in my arms. This was a nice blessing as I was missing cuddling David. The children here get to play with large knives and it's quite amazing that more of them don't get hurt.
