Sili #7

Sili, which means the “best” in Samoan, will be the village of our final seminar. In that case let’s say that we saved the best for last. We performed twice today. The students from the primary school were right on time and we didn’t want to keep them out of school for too long. The rest of the village wouldn’t show up until 10:45 so it was good that we didn’t wait.

After the kids went back to school we were fed breakfast which included almost any kind of fruit you could imagine. Shortly thereafter the nurses arrived and it was showtime. Today was an oscar winning performance and the crowd really enjoyed it.

The rest of the program went accordingly and we even raised a few more laughs when explaining the weight loss competition. One of the women was very interested in what the prize is for losing the weight. Instead of being direct with her, I thought I’d have some fun with her. I told her that Leni would be her slave for a month if she lost the weight. Leni, the best wingman a guy could ask for.

It has been an absolute pleasure implementing this project with my fellow volunteers. We’ve had our share of ups and downs over the past three weeks but due to perseverance and lots of kava we have completed the seminars.
