No School Supplies

Prime Minister Lini admits lack of service delivery in outer islands.

Prime Minister Ham Lini has admitted that the government has not done enough to provide service delivery to 95% of the population in the islands.

As a result, the lack of service delivery has forced these vital sectors to close down and now we do not have any agriculture field assistants in the islands, fishing projects are no longer in operation, and there are very poor health standards because most of the hospitals and clinics have been downgraded.

During a visit to the islands PM Lini received a lot of requests to help fund things like school buildings. Some of these requests are nothing more than Vt50,000 ($US500).

Some schools just needed maintenance, while others lacked basic school materials such as blackboards, exercise books and text books.

In some cases there is no medicine available and no fuel for lights. Residents on the islands are forced to rely on ancient custom methods.

These are school supplies sent in by Seachange Lodge and their guests.
