A WALLISIAN BOY


While trying to send stuff back home to PNG in the days before the Games started, the General Team Manager and I would turn up at the Games Organising Committee to make use of their WiFi system.

 Photo: Ilaisa-ane, the Wallisian boy (right), and me.
We met this boy (Ilaisa-ane) asking a lot of questions in French.
Some I could understand, others I could not.
I asked for his name and he gave me the name, checking to see if I spelled it correctly, by peeping at the notebook I had in hand.
“That’s correct,” he said, when I wrote it down.
He is six years old and his house is just next to the GOC office which is within the Kafika Stadium area.
