Sonny Kenbaroy gave the valditorian speach. I have had the joy of getting to know Sonny in the last couple of months as he has been about the office and working with him to create graduation invitations for the seniors.
The graduation speaker was Chief Obaklechol Kuniwo Nakamura from Palau. He served in the Palau public service for many years including two terms as the President of the Republic of Palau. He has served in numerous public capacities and is currently a businessman and consultant. In addition, he is Chief Obaklechol, the first ranking chief of Ngerchol Hamlet in Peleliu State. By virtue of his title he is a member of the Peleliu State Legislature.
He gave a great speach encouraging the students in Christian service and living and insight into some of the problems they will encounter as Christians in Micronesia. It was a very interesting and informative speach to me as I learn about Micronesian cultures.
Micronesian's really know how to honor the graduates with colorful lei's. I really enjoyed running around snapping some pictures of the graduates.
Sonny is getting married next Sunday to the lovely lady.
