Field Trip to Mondomil




On Thursday, I traveled with the missionary kids, their teachers, and some of their parents to Mondomil. It is about an hour away. Mondomil is a Swiss Evangelical Brotherhood Church mission station that was started back in the 50s. The PNGians put on a little drama showing us how the first swiss missionaries came, how they make fire without matches, how they use bamboo to peel kaukau, and the kind of instruments they used. They were dressed in their traditional attire as you can see. Now they don't dress this way, they wear nml clothes. After doing some cultural things, we made some bread over a fire - swiss style, and we talked and then played in the river. All in all it was a good day.
