About 30 people from Australia arrived in Atoifi as a Fly 'n Build team to help primeraly to reroof the hospital. The old roof was partly rosted through! Atoifi Adventist Hospital is the only remaining mission hospital in the south pacific! It was a privilige to visit that place and to help! Once before this hospital was the number one hospital in the whole Solomon Islands but after years of neglect we saw also sad conditions. But the doctors and nurses do there very best to serve "God and Humanity" and that has been truely a blessing for the kwaio people in supplying medical help and with that finding a way for the entrance of the gospel!
Atoifi Hospital with the surrounding buildings. This is the most sofisticated village with even a road, buildings built by bricks and electricity twice a day!
Atoifi is sourrounded by numerous coconut palms. Makes always a refreshing drink :)
