A family of Ethiopian children experience for the ocean for the first time at Wellington's Island Bay. Supplied Zach Fitzsimons, Filmon Tagebe, Eli Choat, and Eliyas Tagebe play backyard soccer in Island Bay. Lenihan-Ikin took them to visit Wellington City Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons on Saturday and, despite the cold, they took a trip to Island Bay beach. Supplied Rory Lenihan-Ikin, second from left, shot a video of children from Ethiopia seeing the ocean for the first time on Saturday. They had probably seen the ocean out a plane window and some had seen Wellington Harbour, but this was the first time up close with the ocean and waves, Lenihan-Ikin said.
