Members of the CIA Delegation traveled by Fishing Boats to the
Island of Kandavu to visit the Daviqele School. As with the
trip to Nabukelevu-ira Primary School, the children were greeted
by CIA President Kevin Friedrich who introduced the CIA and
the international delegation, then given a short talk about
the accordion by Joan C. Sommers. This time in addition to the
concert where the childrend were entertained by four CIA contestants
including two CIA Virtuoso Entertainment Champions, in return
the children provided a Meke concert to the guests. |
