This is the foundation of the house we lived in 1996-2000. I lived with my cousin Sally here before leaving to PNG in 1998. When I returned in 2000 the GRA men occupied this village. After we all evacuated, the MEF raided and burned down every single house, including ours.

We were unable to get to the boat (White and Red) where our late brother's fellow fishermen were rescued, due to time and terrible sea, but I used the digital camera to zoom in the boat. This boat is housed in a house by the sea in North Malaita. All men on that boat were rescued.
