Today we went back to the village to give the Pastor a CD of the photos we’d taken at the Church service. We’re concerned that they have little access to a computer, although the Pastor assured us he is getting a computer soon. He works at a private school in Vila teaching English as a foreign language. We’re also wondering at their ability to afford to make prints of the photos. We were so blessed by them we’d love to bless them back and have an address to send hard copies of photos to on our return home. This has truly been a special part of our visit to Vanuatu so far.
We all had a wash in the cool stream pond and then washed clothes supervised by Gloria who arrived at the conclusion that we must have had washing machines in Australia as our technique was so inefficient. Pam had a later wash and gave the family some gifts including a toy car for the two year old that proved a huge hit. Pam promised to return to give Donna, a beautiful 17 year old, nail polish which she did with Nicky and Lee and once again the gracious and kind regard of the Ni Vans was shown when we were brought a bench seat so we could sit and chat with the family under their shady mango tree.
