Unrecognisable to me, I was there in the 1950's for the British Atomic Bomb Tests. It was Christmas Island then. Even so it was nice to it again.❤❤

So blessed while watching this video It’s been 12 years leaving my own Island 🌴 saw my cousins at St Francis High School Chaplain Vicent and definitely to me everything changed 🤭 Thanks again and hope you have and amazing day 🤙

Muy bonito trabajo, promoviendo lugares para visitar.....aunque un poquito lejos de mi patria...Dios bendiga a la comunidad Kiritimatiana....(Republica de Kiribati)...del cambio climatico....un saludo desde Mexico.....(Irapuato,Gto).......marzo 9 de 2021.

i usually don't stick around for full videos like these but this was super amazing thank you for sharing !!!

Awesome, great seeing you all do great things on kiritimati, i was there 12 years ago and we built some additional buildings for schools in banana, tennessee and a couple buildings in london, i have nothing but great memories from our time there, i think i caught a glimpse of one of the buildings we constructed at tennessee, may be wrong its been so long, thanks again for the video

Thanks for sharing Jasmine, I've been away from Kiritimati for 2 years and I have seen many changes. Thank You very much for sharing and yes you bring my High School memories back when I see St Francis High School Campus along with our staffs back there. Thank You once again and I wish you all the best guys!! TEKERAOI

Oh yeah I am a St Francis Student 2014 and now I am here on South Tarawa (The Capital of Kiribati) continuing my studies here lol

So I ended up here because I wanted to find out where in the world it was Thursday already (Wednesday Detroit MI US where I am) and Kiritimati popped up on the world clock site. As usual, I googled it to find our more about the place and boom, your video showed up among the search results. I have to say, I watched the entire thing!! What an amazing place, looks like you guys had a transforming experience. Did you go as part of a foundation or something? And why did you go back home? I wouldn't, like seriously. One of the few Eden places left in the world untouched by concrete jungles and resorts. I will add this to my bucket list of places to visit when i can afford, the tickets are like 2600 a piece, which really isn't bad cause I have seen worse. Thanks for filming and thanks for showing that there is still heaven on earth.

Kiritimati also has the world’s earliest time zone

Hi(mauri) and thanks for your beautiful video during your visitation to kiribati and l appreciate all your teaching to the students and people. Moreover for accepting the reality of Kiribati. My name Teitati and l am from Kiribati also. May God bless you all, don't worry you will come to kiribati and you are mostly welcomed in time of your visitation again.

Is there a blog post or something that actually explains what we see in the video?

In what way did the fish poison you? Were the meds to deal with that? What should a visitor watch out for?

Did you ever make it back?

did the fish give you ciguatera poisoning? we have that here in hawaii, and the micronesia people who move here they can eat the fish that us Hawaiians cant cause well get ciguatera. its like thoes islanders are immune to it.

Ah I miss these beautiful shores! 💖 I was there in 2015 during the independence celebrations. My uncle,who was born in Scotland, stays there. I wonder if you hired your cars from him?

Unbelievably beautiful this island, next year in September I want to get there, at what hotel you stay, Lagoon View Resort ?. Thank you for this video 👍🤗

Amazing! We stayed at The Villages! Highly recommended.

6.52- 10.42 beautiful music. please author

Thank you for your video! I think at 11:18, that is my Mom, Tetima. I haven't been back to the island, since I left when I was 5 years old. But 25 years later, I am going back to see my Mom! Your video has touched me. I am going there this month to check out her health and of course do some long overdue catching up, thank you for making a difference to my little island. xox

Is this same as Kiribati-Christmas island..?

Kiritimati Island is in the Country of Kiribati 🇰🇮 in the Pacific. Kiritimati is also called Christmas Island but there's also ANOTHER Christmas Island (Australian) in the Indian Ocean I think. So this video Kiritimati aka Christmas Island in (Kiribati) is in the Pacific. The 2nd Christmas Island (Australian) is in the Indian Ocean.

Yes the British in the 50s and then the Americans in early 60s carried out Nuclear testing there. I was there in 1958 and saw 5 tests.

Have you ever googled "Fig Wasp"?

All that music totally took away from the interest of the video.

A true shame regarding the musical soundtrack - it takes away about 50% of the content, I would have loved to hear clips of the people speaking and the actual music being made played at the farewell party. :(
