Hi all!! Tao kama bon tia n ongo ke kam tuai ae a manga motirawa man te maiu aei Ata are taman Kuamatang ao Tebuke Rotan. A kaiaaki rabataia nte bong aei (Friday).

I could recall the funeral of Nei Nnere(Tebuke's mom),where all of Rabi gathered for the funeral. She wasn't a Banaban but aron matenakina bon te bai ae moan te roko raoi. E bon rangin tekeraoi te aine aei bwa e bon rangin rungaki raoi aron matenakina. Ngke e mate Rotan ao ngkai ea manga mate natina ae Tebuke ao akea aron are e rungaki iai Nei Nnere n noraki n tain mateia.

E ngae n anne ao aia utu a bon karoko raoa aron tibangaia ibukia nakai. Kam bati n rabwa ao are ieta ngkami n aron ami toba raoi.

May their souls rest in peace!!!!!!!!!!!
