14 School in Rarotonga have adopted a Country that are visiting for the World Youth Netball Championships 2009. The atomosphere has been exceptionally overwhelming.
All the countries taken in by the Schools have definately felt a "Home away from Home". The success of the this programme has seen a great effort by the schools attending the games and cheering their country on with cheerleaders, learning the national athems and even dressing up to match their country.
The Cook Islands Sports and National Olympic Committee would like to acknowledge Tatari Mitchell, Operations Manager of the programme and her team, Cook Islands News, Cook Islands Television and the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne for their support and hard work.
