Islands. Ancient volcanic island, with a sea filled crater.
Lesereplag
Small village of only 210 villagers.
Jean-Claude Tranape visited in October 2001:
"The chief explained to us that his village was
very alone and enclave in the ocean. When the WWII was finished, the American soldiers
gave many tools and gifts useful for the natives, to thanks peoples
for their help. The natives are grateful still now. They have no computer,
no electricity, no phone (The phone was cut because no money), no radio,
absolutely nothing. The ship which
supply the island come 1 or 2 times in the year because the island is
far from Port Vila or Luganville."
