Bon Voyage to our first shipment of postcards from Matamaka!

At last, we are ready to send off our first set of postcards out of Tonga to all of the people who wrote to us with the Postcard Project. I know it has taken a long time, but there was a ton of cards we had to go through. Most of the people will receive personalized cards from the students that they designed themselves. On the contrary, I wrote to some of the people as well with postcards from the South Pacific. I hope everyone likes their postcards and continues to tell others about our Postcard Project. We have had great response from around the world! THANK YOU to everyone and MALO ‘AUPITO.
