Sports Day. A day that only in Tonga would a day dedicated
to fitness include food on food on food.
Sports Day was so much fun both the activities, as well as,
the delicious food! This past sports day was the time trials to see which
students will represent our school at the island wide Sports Day at ‘Eua High
School at the end of the month. Since Tufuvai is so small our school is
combined with Ta’anga and Houma. Sammy B teaches in Ta’anga so it was a lot of
fun to have Sports Day with her! We were in pretty heavy competition with each
other during time trials, but come the island wide Sport’s Day people better
watch out. Sammy and I have plans to teach the kids some good cheers!
Highlight of Sports Day were the moms would run next to
their kids wearing their hula skirts and about half way through the race the
moms would just fall to the down. They were like we ran this far with you.
Peace. It was hilarious. Sammy and I could not stop laughing!
At one point during Sport’s Day a class 6 boy from Tufuvai
was running and he needed to get second to qualify. In the last leg of the race
he was fighting for second so I started running next to him and giving him
encouragement. He got FIRST!
And I got a pretty sweet hair do!
