Education isn't cheap

Mele Community Kindergarten
Hollander and I visited a local school with some other kids from the resort.  We sat in with them and listened to some of their songs and then had a play outside together.  It was a great experience, in Vanuatu education isn't free and for most families its hard to keep a number of children at school not many get higher education as helping the family with crops or earning an income is more essential.  The teachers we met had been given scholarships from Australian organisations to complete their training.
