This is Clancy telling the story of making Ipu Kava

ACTS Cultural Week

Clancy's school has had a cultural week which finished with a performance on Thursday night. Clancy had two role's, one as drummer and the other telling the story of how to make Ipu Kava (Coconut Cup for drinking Kava)


The raw and the finshed product (Ipu Kava). The next blog has a video of Clancy telling the story


Karmen, Taipe, Richie and Clancy before the show and Lupate'a and Mimosa. Apologies if the spelling is wrong, this from Clancy's pronunciation, which is generally pretty good.


The families watching intently. Parents and family members show their appreciation by tucking money into the costumes of the children. The money is then collected and becomes a community donation for the school. Clancy didn't realise the money goes to the school and after being given some money during his performance was quiet upset that someone was taking it. He didn't realise the protocol and explained, somewhat upset, his teacher what had happened.
