Wan Gudfala Samting!

| In my first week in Washington, DC in June 2008, I met up with some RPCVs from Vanuatu. All of us were from different groups and had COS’d at different times beginning in 2000. One of the RPCVs, Mike Hendric (Matevulu College, 1999-2001?), had a great surprise for us. |
Mifala i bin shek from se wan woman blong Vanuatu i kam! Eslyn Kaltongga, Mike’s student from Matevulu, was in DC on an internship. She is currently studying Journalism and Communications at the University of HI. Of course, she credited to one of the reasons why she is here in the US studying is because of her Mista Mike.
Needless to say, we were all captivated in meeting this strong, independent woman. It was a real great honor to have a touch of the past meet our present. Vanuatu’s future is looking brighter day by day!
| On her last night in DC, we, of course, had a kakae for Eslyn complete with kava from Black Sands (www.nakamalathome.com), homemade laplap manioc, and kumala to the sounds of string band. |  |
Eslyn, mifala sori long yu be mbae mifala lukim yu bakegen!
