Our second day on Ta’u saw the arrival of our volunteer technicians. Welcome Sylvia and Pepa! Despite the landslides, our local Agriculture person (Oge Nua) was able to make it across from Ta’u village and help us get settled into a fale on Fitiuta for the day. It was a small surgery day, which left us time for a nice walk in the evening.
