THROUGH YOUNG ISLANDERS' EYES
What I like about my island is that it has got beautiful flowers which fragrances the whole place. Here you will find different kinds and different colours of flowers. What I like mostly is waterfalls, and all those other places you can visit that will change your likings. What I most like is the life. It is so easy to handle, not like in Australia you'll have to pay the water and power.
What I also like is the public. They are so kind. They share with us true tales that happened those days. On this island we do everything the easiest and simplest way. We cook our food traditionally and get our food from places you would never think where food could be. We have trees that surround the island and that produce water, meal and all those traditional crafts that we Cook Islanders make with our own bare hands.
It is mostly sunny and I'm always happy cause then I get to play and enjoy talking with my friends. Now over here is what I call PARADISE. I mean real paradise. That is what I like about my beautiful island.

WHY I LOVE RAROTONGA
By Te Manava Syme-Buchanan (age 6)
Flowers are growing everywhere on Rarotonga
even on the trees
Fresh fish in the blue water
White sand, beautiful sweet shells
Big areas to play in
A lot of space to build our own house
Delicious food to eat
And a big sunny, sun to keep us warm.

Our land and ocean is our life
Our land and ocean is our love
Our land and ocean is our faith
Our land and ocean is our hope for the future generations in the Pacific.
Through the unconditional love of God who spoke, the temotu, venua, fonua, fanu,fenua of the Pacific came into existence for our survival and pride. Our Land and Moana (ocean) have and will continue to refresh our souls and spirit.
