News just to hand.....

No, I haven't found my purse BUT here's some even BETTER news. We have our finalists.

The semi-final topic this afternoon was "THBT dictatorships should not receive international aid". England proposed against Greece. New Zealand proposed against Singapore. England won 4-1 and New Zealand won 3-2.

Ah yes, these two teams!! May the best one win. I have a little whakatauki (proverb) for each member of both teams:
toko reo, toku ohooho (my words, my awakening.)

Thank you for enlivening us with your words. May you realise always the good and the transformation you can achieve with them.

I look forward to the final and will bring everyone the result as always.

Isn't he just? His dad's coaching NZ with Julia Fetherston and his mum's a judge and the NZ team manager. He's just been so delightful this whole tournament and shared his smiles with everyone. He's the star (Oh and the debaters are too...of course.)
