Leaving Honiara


I had my final meeting with the stakeholders’ group for the distance teacher training project here today. At the end of the meeting I was – for once – speechless when the Permanent Secretary made a big presentation about how much I’d helped them and how much they appreciated it. She then presented me with the most beautiful shell money necklace that they had made specially for me. They had even had my name spelled out in the beads. It is totally amazing and I was really touched that they had done that for me. They also put on a big lunch ... which was great!

I’m very sad that I am not going to be here to help the team make this programme happen – I really hope they are successful. Ah well ... on to the next job :-)
