This documentary was made by ESHOP, a group in Malekula. We’ve got a DVD copy in the office, and it is pretty cool.
The DVD is available for purchase, for 500VT or about USD $5. Call 7743390 if you are in Vanuatu (+678 7743390 from overseas) or email eshop@vanuatu.com.vu to arrange.
UPDATE 23/6 -- Thanks to Peter for the suggestion -- here’s my incredibly poor translation from Bislama. Text is in all caps.
NATIONAL DAY FOR WOMEN & CELEBRATION OF VANWODS IN MALAMPA PROVINCE
ESHOP VIDEO CREW COVERED THE EVENT FOR A LONG TIME TO GIVE THE STORIES OF ALL MAMAS
All mamas say, we all got spirit of cooperation. If everyone wants to eat, how do we feed everyone? VANWODS cames from Vanuatu, it was set up to help all people achieve solutions.
ONE DAY FOR HOPE
Our centre is proud of our marker, we see this bird flying over the island when we get up in the morning. We look at the marker and we feel glad to see it.
ONE DAY TO BE PROUD
We want to encourage the mamas who are at home to join VANWODS. It is a chance, if you got the chance to join VANWODS. We came to hear the speeches that are taking place here. VANWODS can help each mama with their home.
ONE DAY FOR ENCOURAGEMENT
ONE SPECIAL DAY FOR ALL MAMAS.
STORY OF ALL VANWODS MAMAS IS AN ESHOP PRODUCTION
