The Tuvalu delegation and representatives from Enuamanu School in Atiu, held a flag-raising ceremony yesterday signalling the visiting team’s presence in the Pacific Mini Games village.
Tuvalu, under Sylia Tevao, includes another two officials and a sprinter Asenate Manoa, arrived at last weekend and the delegation is housed at Tereora College.
Two weightlifters are due in this weekend.
The ceremony was held just outside the main entrance to the Princess Anne hall, just as athletes, officials and volunteers, around Tereora, were tucking into lunch.
Deputy principal Tira Tararo spoke on behalf of the host school, saying they would be at the BCI Stadium today to cheer on Manoa in the 200m heats.
While the flag was being raised, the national anthem was sung, led by the resident Atiu doctor’s wife, (Teka’ai) Nelesone who is on Rarotonga for the games. - Moana Moeka’a: Cook Islands News
