Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu

On March 13th and 14th 2015, severe tropical cyclone Pam tore through the South Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu with destructive winds of up to 250 kilometres p/hour that flattened homes, destroyed schools and people gardens and left large areas of the country completely defoliated. The country’s 250,000 people are still facing unprecedented devastation.

Below is a short video story of James, who lost his house and his school. I’ve produced it for ChildFund and Live&Learn earlier this year. You can help James and other children of Vanuatu to rebuild the schools by donating to ChildFund:

Most of them were moved there because of the US army missile range-testing program. Extreme overcrowding, poverty, disease outbreaks and high level of unemployment gave this island the informal name of the ”island-ghetto”.
