Often groups of ladies march in along with procession

A lady took a moment to take a photo on her phone of the procession passing by.

We walked down a road that turned very muddy just before we had to cross a river. Note we drove in the river as there wasn't a bridge at this location.

Kai kai, food, for the many different people who helped with the dedication and those who came.

Representatives from different villages, men and women, old and young all of them holding up the Word of God in Kamano Kafe!
