the Ambae relief program 

Here is a I.T  persons nightmare 

WIFI  and all sorts hanging from a nailed board 

This week we have been working on getting

new smart meters to replace the old meters at Jensen Accommodation. 

The new meters are to get tenants to  "pay before you use"   

No big power bills for PCV office .

Hanging on the clothes line, is a notice of the water being turned off.

No house letter boxes here except only at the Post Office 

A clothes line is a great place to put the notice

What do you think!!!

The mission team from Tauranga brought some black board paint

for Napagasale schools as they saw an URGENT need 

 when they visited the school last week .

"Its on its way guys thanks"

We are training this guy to turn salt water into drinking water

he will take 2 distillation cookers back to West Ambrym 

in preparation for the dry season 

He will train the people back in Ambrym how to operate the cookers

We have the St Peter's Team arrive from Tauranga in NZ

they are here for 5 days and are heading out to 

the Island of Tongoa to look at a school project

and may return next year.

Here is Dr Robin, bring some pencils for Gloria to be used

at one of the schools next term

The St Peters team went and visited the Marine Reach 

a new Medical centre not far away for Port Vila centre.

Dr Robin helped these nurses with the afternoon clinic 

it turned out a great day for a doctor to be on hand

He had to do some stitching on a sliced leg

The nurses were extremely happy to have him around

We visited Grace Etas School and the Global mission water tank

I'm so please that they came as they brought me new seat covers 

for the Ford Ranger

 Gloria & I had a trip to Santo Island to Talua

I had to check that all the materials had been

delivered to Talua and that the project would have 

no problems 

Here is the project up in Talua 

it is to re Roof this dinning hall

Because they live so close to the coast line the sea 

breeze causes the roofs to rust

also the cyclones tend to rip of weak and rusty 

sheets of the iron

I was short of a few roofing materials to completed this project

so it was good that we went to Talua 

This is the cook house next to the dinning hall

in Talua

While in Santo we visited Tata School 

sometimes mission teams come from NZ and visit

this High School

This is a tractor at Nova Farm

many New Zealanders have work on this farm

and may have driven this tractor 

when is was in better condition

Nova farm work shop

a roll of lino from Blenheim

The desks and lino are now in this classroom

BAD TENANTS for PCV

Here we are back in Twin Cain's Unit 2

a person from overseas has been here 

from November 2017 and hasn't paid any rent

and has made this huge mess 

and then he did a runner !!!

The cooker 

A meeting was held with us and some PCV staff last night ,to discuss the issues.

So it was an early start this morning for Leinangis and Gloria 

to start the big clean up.

                  Gloria had done some painting'' training '' with Leinangis in 2016, so it was
                                             time to put those skills into practice again.

                                                       ''Finding your Gifts and Talents''
                                She is a really good painter, and also loves to do this.

Getting ready to roll the floors

Finished the bathroom  "NAMBAWAN"

Then it was time to attack the kitchen..... which is now looking good.

Yowell the builder, who works with Neville was dropped off, to do some repairs inside. 

A quick ride to cool off, and buy some lunch, then it was back to finish off the unit.

A great team effort 😁

Ready for  ''NEW TENANTS''.
