Cultural Days 2013

     Last year, we had only been here a few months and the FSM celebrated Founders Day and had a cultural event all day.   Dancers came from all over Micronesia, from Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae and Pohnpei and most of the outer Islands. It was amazing, we only got a few pictures last year.
    This year we were able to go, but only for an hour, so we only got to see a few things. It was great. Here are some of the pictures of the Dancers, Handicrafts they make, food they eat. We love cultural days.

Dancers, getting ready to dance


Breadfruit, cooking on the fire


Cynthia Seiola and her little sister, just before they danced


How you husk a coconut






Each dance tells a story, these girls are the singers and story tellers with the
Rythem sticks
