Pacific Island Foods

Pacific Islands work with very limited resources. When crops such as coconut, taro, bananas and pineapple come into season, people become very creative with different ways of preparing and cooking the food crops.

The Model U.N.

This post comes live from the model UN... During the day, we have been privileged to host the model UN here at Kuranui. Schools from master ton and beyond have joined us to debate issues around climate change, refugees and earthquake relief. After an initial fear, the students involved have got right into the debate. Watching the smaller countries turn on the student representing the USA was fascinating, and seeing students taking the traditional stances of each of the member nations is awesome. The whole day has been great, and I really hope we get to host it again.
