Neiafu Library Fun Day

9th June 2012 - Neiafu Library Fun Day

Every year the Neiafu library holds a Fun Day to raise money for the library.   It was a fantastic day with lots of games for everyone to play.  I was painting faces and learnt a new Tongan word, Pepe (butterfly).  As that is the only animal name I know in Tongan there were lots of kids running around with Pepe's on their cheeks! 

VEPA volunteers helped by creating a game where kids had to throw rubbish into the correctly labelled bin.   There are plenty of young Tongans with a good aim.   It was such a success we have been talking about creating a similar VEPA event with games based around environmental education.  

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out.
