Tongans mourns.


Tongan ferry, the Princess Ashika sank when travelling from Tongan capital Nuku'alofa to Ha'afeva, in the Nomuka Islands group last Wednesday. Many Tongans live in Auckland, and I have many Tongan students.

New Zealand has sent an an airforce Orion and several boats to the search and rescue in the area.

The photo shows a school expressing their sympathies.

Terrible accident! It's good to see that there is a possibility to offer one's condolences.

Thanks Ann, for explaining about the eight characters. The only question I have is: how do I find out which of the eight characters do I have, and which do I lack. Sorry to be such a bore!
