Two VSA volunteers return to Vanuatu

Rob and I have been volunteering again with VSA for athe last year - providing support to the Vanuatu Department of Corrections/Dipatmen Blong Koreksonal Sevis with enterprise opportunities and rehabilitation programmes. I have been running the art rehabilitation programme with an emphasis on ‘pablik penting’ (murals). Rob has worked alongside the joinery and catering instructors to develop cost savings and income opportunities for the department. Both assignments aim to support training opportunities for detainees as they reintegrate into society.

We’ve posted some new photos showing the latest murals and improvements to the bakery and kitchen (biogas units).

Volunteer Service Abroad is New Zealand’s largest and most experienced volunteer agency, sending volunteers to share skills and work with partner organisations in the Pacific region and beyond. This fundraiser is to support Volunteer Service Abroad to cover part of their financial shortfall so they can send people like us throughout the Pacific to help others.
