December 8th

planted bananas today, something I never imagined I would say, also planted island cabbage and did some prep work for planting kumula (emi olsem sweet potatoes).

We made tentative plans for the annual health week, as it's next week:

Monday - everyone cleans up around the churches and nakamals
Tuesday - dig holes and bury tin cans and plastic that won't be burnt
Wednesday - clean up around your house and plant flowers
Thursday - clean up all public roads
Friday - clean up your kitchens and burn trash
Saturday - bury everything you couldn't burn
Sunday - closing ceremony and fundraiser

this year's theme is "clean environment, healthy people". The health committee has a meeting with all the local chiefs tomorrow, as their the ones that have to make the work happen in all of the villages.

it rained all types of rain today, heavy rains.
