Day 4 ... ...

and the delegates had spent their first night in their host families' home. Being a Saturday, there was no school but the delegates met as early as 9a.m at Ei Primary for Dragnet Fishing which was one of the highlights for this homestay programme.

Mdm Maria, "Look at the happy chatty Riverlites."

This the first time for all to try this activity out and in fact, this activity is especially prepared for this programme and thus, it is also a first for the children of Awaji Island as well!

The pictures that follow show how the delegates are going to catch their lunch.

First catch of the day; a crab

There's nothing in the net??
