Kiribati is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and Australia, situated at the intersection of the equator and the International Date Line. The islands are scattered over more than five million square kilometres of ocean. Located in the equatorial region, Kiribati's climate is tempered by the easterly trade winds, and humidity is high during the November to April rainy season.
Reflections on the contributions of many for Port Pirie’s commitment to Kirabati by Brenda Keenan, Director of Catholic Education, Diocese of Port Pirie
The generous support of our Port Pirie diocesan schools was nothing short of remarkable. This generosity and overwhelming commitment from our schools was the impetus for our inaugural Outreach experience in Abaokoro with the Sisters of the Good Samaritan.
Kiribati was an invaluable experience, and a real emotional rollercoaster. It was amazing seeing how happy the children were with the simple things they have, and the enthusiasm shown towards learning. I reflect on this daily and remind myself how lucky I am.
