Today we were able to bless our 2 workers,

Yowell & Noel, we gave them a 1000ltr water tank.

Its our gift to them for all the work they have done.

Yowell & Margaret are so pleased to receive this gift. 

This will allow them to have some clean drinking water

for their families over the hot summer months.

This is the Chief's house at Louneil

and he kindly gave it to the PCANZ team,

to use as accommodation for General Assembly.

which are dotted around the village.

because he snores!!

One  of the Chinese water tanks from Port Vila 

has made its way to the cook house at 

Louneil village  

The fog arrived on day 4 of the General Assembly 

and it got cooler 

The vegetables were put inside the truck for 

safe keeping so,

the pigs didn't get to eat them.

We got to go to the Volcano on Tanna.

It's known as Yasur. 

You drive up to with in a short walking 

distance to the crater.

It was about 40 minutes to drive from Louneil to Yasur.

It seem like we were driving on sand but, it is ash from the Volcano.

We got up at 3.30am to go up to the Volcano

This is were the men sit and tell their stories

and make conversation, around the fire to keep warm.
