Project 2: Rebuild Mele Maat School
Donation protected
JUNE 2016 CURRENT UPDATE: After tremendous support from so many wonderful people we were successful in rebuilding a whole classroom block last year. However the village school is still in desperate need of another classroom block to get the Year 1 and Year 2's back in permanent structures. (They are still in UNICEF tents) So it is with great pleasure to announce we are starting our campaign again to do it all over again with an estimated completion date of December this year! The children of Vanuatu would love your support!
Here are some great photos and newspaper clippings from last years build! It truly was inspirational for all involved. Take a few minutes and watch the video below to give you a better idea of exactly what went on and how we did it in just 2 amazing days!
LAST YEARS STORY: Hi, my name is Michelle Isherwood. My husband, Damien and I have been living in Port Vila Vanuatu for nearly 4 years now. We operate a small resort on the beach in Mele called Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments. During our time here we have become very nestled in the local Village Community and have been constantly helping out our local village during the past 4 years with various needs and projects.
Many of our past and future guests would ask us what they could bring for the kids of Vanuatu, hence we were already in the midst of setting up a charity for the kids of Vanuatu before the devastating Cyclone Pam struck our shores on Friday the 13th of March 2015. If you have ever or know anyone who has been lucky enough to spend any time in Vanuatu, you would be touched by the hearts and spirits of these kids. And to tell you the truth, this quality is shining through even more as we all work together to restore Vanuatu back to its natural beauty again.
After assessing what is needed we start up a Project and Publish it on our facebook page as well as our website www.vanuatukids.org As I mentioned before this was going to be something that we would take sometime getting right however due to the urgency and help required we are working endlessly to get it all together so we can make a connection for those who want to give and to those who really need it.
