WAM - canoe builders

 We took our special guests from New Zealand to visit WAM - a youth training facility which teaches young people how to build their traditional canoes. This sign which is beside their front door says that it is an alcohol-free, smoke-free and betel-nut chewing-free zone.






 Here is some of the pretty coloured wood that they use to build the canoes. It is from the breadfruit tree. Tom and I love the taste of breadfruit curry and breadfruit soup.

 Sister Winters (in the blue sweater) and I are looking to see how they put together the canoes.



Here are the young people building another canoe indoors. And below is a finished model hanging from the rafters.

We plan to book a one hour trip on a canoe with the other missionary couple. We can ride for $20/per person.
