Talofa/Tofa Party

The end of our 1st week concluded with a massive celebration. Sandra (the Director and Founder of PiCED) and her husband Pete decided to throw a party with 3 goals: (1) to welcome Ethan and I into the PiCED family (2) to welcome the new World Teach group to the island and (3) to say farewell to Scott, Taylor, and Ruth who are all leaving PiCED to head to the Mainland. Our Talofa (Hello) / Tofa (Good-Bye) Party was a complete success. Sandra and Pete take good parties seriously and didn’t disappoint. Lots of spirits were drank and fun was had. It was a great chance to get to know the new World Teach crew (Ethan and I joked that we were interviewing for new best friends) and bond with our new co-workers. When all was said and done, there were many empty cups, bodies jumping into the pool, and shoes lost. That’s right, after only a week on island, Ethan lost a pair of his new flip-flops! Cheers to many more fun night to come with new, good friends!
