OGEA is very closed to FULAGA and if you look for another feeling, this is the island: Presenting your Kava to the single village is a challenge as you must target not more than one hour around high tide. the sandy lagoon is very shallow. After a kava ceremony, we gave our small gift  (fishing kit n ecological light) n this time, it was much more appreciated; the village is very small but has a school n chief ask us to come back next day. Teacher organized a dance and we could speak a bit about the life in this very isolated place; as soon as the kids leave the village school, as in many islands some kids go to SUVA the capital where some family give them accomodation to continue to study; as in many islands too, old and young generation live together as many adults get money in another place and come back for holidays. But fishing is still active here.

OGEA, so closed to FULAGA, but still in another world
