Seeing a Princess


We got to see Princess Salote Mafile’o Pilolevu Tuita our very first full day in Tongatapu. There was a program for the demolition of the old building of Viaola Hospital. We came about a half hour before it started, and the students were asked to line up with the Queen Salote School of Nursing students. All of the students lined the drive up to the ceremony area right by the old hospital where the princess drove up in her van. In fact, two of our students were closest to the princess!
After the demolition ceremony, we got to tour Viaola Hospital, and at night got to do baptisms for the dead. What a great first day on Tongatapu!
