I was invited to attend the OISCA Graduation ceremony on 14th October 2009. The school is located about half hour drive from Kokopo up near Warangoi. Around 80 students graduated.
The company I work for sponsors some of the students. The school is run and largely funded by the Japanese and trains students in best practice agriculture.
It was a really hot and humid day. The entertainment before the ceremony including elaborately dressed dancers plus lots of singing. Was meant to start at 9:30 but was almost 10:30 before it actually started.
It was very well organised and was attended by some important people like the Japanese Ambassador and Sir Julius Chan. Unfortunately had to leave early as had commitments to finalise accounts for our head office in Japan.
