Because we knew the children wouldn't come before three taking into account the fact that they were participating in the parade I took the opportunity of showing Terenas and his wife Sonia what the village was like. So, we made it it towards the fishing harbour in the company of my special helpers (Leinira and Tarine).

A number of children and adolescents started gathering outside the pension awaiting to be handed out their presents and the more I thought about it the less I felt we would be able to hand out the 178 packs we had in the limited amount of time, particularly bearing in mind the fact that I'd have to photograph every single handing out.

At one point Terenas had to start distracting the children as they waited for their turn, which wasn't easy due to the long hours and the excitment.
