Goodbyes at JIS
Every year at JIS we have to say goodbye to colleagues and friends. This year was no different. We had to say goodbye to our friends the Fergusons; Ingrid, Andy, Maia and Sophie. Noah and Maia have been in play groups together since they were born and Sophie and Ayla were good friends too. On a personal level, I had to part with Ingrid with whom I worked closely together at JIS Pattimura for 7 years. I will miss her!
Another person who will be sadly missed is our friend Gerardo Cuneo. After 17 years at JIS he decided to join Lisa in the States.
Gerardo and I have become very close over the years especially because of our shared interest in football. We have played in the same team, we have coached the JIS kids together, we have gone to tournaments together and we have played fantasy football together.
Gerardo has also been an essential member of some memorable Boys Trips to Papua, Flores, Siem Reap and Chiang Mai. Unfortunately his time at JIS with us was up, but the memories will stay forever.
Gerardo , we wish you all the best for the future and I am sure that our paths will cross again. Stay in touch my friend!
Here are some photos of his farewell match at JIS
