Upward Bound students from Pohnpei came to Kosrae for summer Goodwill games. On Friday, 05 August 2005, the students performed cultural ceremonies for each other.

The Pohnpeians performed a sakau ceremony. A sakau plant was brought and the stems were first cut. Then the Pohnpeians pounded the sakau. Amy Manuel, working with the UB program on Pohnpei, received the third cup.
