International Day at PIU

Last Monday the PIU Student Council sponsored an International Day. The idea was that each different cultural group would explain the unique aspects of their home culture, showcase the art, dance, music and/or, of course food, of their home “island.” The purposes were to understand each other a bit better and celebrate the differences within the unity of the PIU family. It was fun to see how talented the new students are. It was an enjoyable evening that began a very busy week. Here are several pictures of the event.

I enjoyed the displays and food from Kosrae and Palau

The Yap team were in local dress

And did some chanting and dancing

The Pohnpeians demonstrated the correct way to offer sakau and did some chanting and dancing

There were lots of smiles from the spectators. All in all, it was a great experience of Christian unity in diversity
