I have a Peace Corps Partnership for the school I taught at last year,
Vila North School.  Peace Corps Partnership is a programme where
volunteers submit small projects to be funded to Peace Corps, and then
Peace Corps puts the description of the project on the Peace Corps
website so that people in America can help the volunteer and donate to
the project.

My project is for three computers for the school.  I need about
$4,000.00 for the project.  Donations are tax deductible.  So donate
early and donate often.  If you are interested, follow this link:

Thanks for your help,

Adam Brzezinski, “Brizz”

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!

We have barely talked to anyone in the last few years-maybe that’s because I lost my address book before I put it all on the computer. So, if you didn’t get a Christmas card from us last year -and I usually send you one- please don’t feel bad. We would love to chat and catch up with everyone we were there with. Drop us a line.

I was a volunteer on Tanna (02/03) and in Vila (04) working at and for RTCs.  Now I’ve been back home for a while and have taken up freelance writing.  I have written an article for Sea Kayaker about a trip to Erromango and they would like to publish it, only my photos are not high enough res for the big opening photo.

I’m looking for some one who has been to Erro and can dig up an amazing photo or two.  You’ll get a photo credit in Sea Kayaker magazine and call yourself a professional photographer, as you would be compensated.

You can contact me at reedy_tanna@yahoo.com or (630) 915-0895.

Thanks.

Aaron Reedy
