lot of companies and people around the world have been supportive of
our Dot TK ambitions. So we say: Faka Fetai (thank you). In order to
improve the situation on Tokelau we will try to list a new project here
monthly and inform you on the updates of running projects.

to say, but it is far from where you are. Far away, far from home,
unless you live in Tokelau, of course. To get to Tokelau you need a 37
hrs boat trip from Apia, West Samoa. This is the only way to get there.
It is approximately the same time you need for four trips between NYC
and Amsterdam by plane, or if you prefer a more active form of
travelling through Europe like cycling, you could get from Belgium to
Spain and back in about the same time.

of the atolls is a ribbon of tiny motu (islands) surrounding a lagoon.
The atolls of Tokelau have been populated by Polynesians for about 1000
years, and traditional tales link the original settlers with Samoa, the
Cook Islands and Tuvalu. There are approximately 500 people on each of
Tokelau's three atolls. Well, there is a lot to tell, but what would
you like to know? We will guide you around with some photographs and
that's about it.

 |  | It's
Monday and we are leaving Nukunonu. Nukunonu is one of atolls of
Tokelau*. Our next destination is Fakaofo. We are 'just' 30 hours by
plane and 40 hours by boat from the civilized world in Amsterdam. Our
mission: to install a high speed Internet connection on Fakaofo.
