Here's nau (gran'ma) Tuvi, in front of the Catholic church, with a bunch of kids from Naselesele Village, located in Taveuni, Fiji. i remember Pete with Francesca in his arms, nau Tuvi with little Jo, young Beni standing with his Fijian "skirt" (formal wear for church), Seleima in the back carrying little May, with Luisa beside her, and Mersiana in a black dress, sitting by nau Tuvi. The names of the rest escape my mind...there were so many children in the village. Funny, they all knew me, and i knew their familiar faces, but it was a challenge at times coming up with their names.And when they called me, it sounded like "moih-len." So sometimes i would just introduce myself in Fijian..."merelina."
