Why am I in Kiribati?

Why am I here ?

A common question I am asked about my journey to Kiribati is 'why?'

So, if that is a question you’ve been asking, you’re not alone.

To be honest, it's a question I ask myself too on some days. Or on rather a lot of days in truth.

So why?

Let me start with the straightforward explanation of what am I doing here in Kiribati, which Aristotle would call the 'efficient' explanation.

I’m here as a volunteer working as an 'office manager mentor' for Te Toa Matoa, a local NGO (non-goverment organisation) that is run by and for people with disabilities in Kiribati.

Now you're asking by what basis do I claim to know anything about office management?
