Mussel Time

The boys chose Ms Howe to join them with their kai. They chose her because of her love for the school children and because her presence gives honour to the occasion.

Painga thanks God for looking after the boys while they were cooking and asks him to look after their mothers and fathers, the old people, the little babies at home, and the new children at school.

The boys shake Painga’s hand to thank him as a sign of respect for his words.

Sharing food strengthens the boy’s friendship.
