The MP comes to visit

This is what I look like most of the time when I have to dress up. This is from when MP Toara Daniel came to talk to the island back in February -- the bamboo I'm holding was for kastom dancing. It's this one where you step forward as a group clapping the bamboo together. Anyway, thought it was a cool photo. The MP made his toktok in front of the Class 1 classroom while the community sat around on the field.

More pictures from that day ...




In Vanuatu, salu salu (like leis) are given out as a sign of respect. It's always women who give them out, too. Jalyn, Winnie, Jenny, and Ruth were the assigned girls to give out salu salu to the MP's party.



Sam jif mo sam narafala big man long komuniti. Notice in the back, the leaves are covering the road. That's so when the truck goes through and breaks it, it's pretty fancy.


The MP is the guy in the blue shirt. All the people around him work in Vila at the Ministry of Trade. This is Island Formal Wear.
