We visited a few schools to get official permission for 12-18 years old L.D.S. ( The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints) members permission to miss a few days to participate in the Temple Cultural Event . It will be attended by the Prime minister. Most of the Youth in Fiji will be involved in the program of song and dance demonstrating their heritage. 


We arrived at lunch time to this school.




We were pleased to receive a toothbrushing demonstration!

We Love the wonderful children of Fiji!
