These people were given some land above another community called Etas. With the addition of another 400 people to the "Etas" area the need for clean water escalated. Clean water was one of the main concerns the mission president had when we meet with him.
When visited the community of Etas, the displaced people were clearing the land for the 400 new residents. There are possibilities and a real need for a additional clean water in Etas. We also visited a small locally built children's school in Etas as well.

After Etas we
went to visit a community called Prema. There had been a drought in
Vanuatu. In October it rained. They received more rain than they
needed. The river rose and flooded the community of Prema. As part of an
emergency response project the church provided fund to purchase blankets and
mosquito nets. We visited Prema and learned
that the supplies had arrived and were at the dock waiting to clear customs.
