Children's Day - Vanuatu

Tuesday 24th July is Children's Day in Vanuatu, it is a national holiday.  Lots of activities going on around Port Vila (and the rest of Vanuatu). We went across to Korman Stadium to watch what was going on.  This is a wonderful facility for the people of Vanuatu to use.

Laplap for sale. By this stage all that was left of the laplap, were the last few scraps.

Stands and displays on the athletic field, promoting heath living, internet security, child safety etc.  All about safety for our pikininis.

Budding Eliza McCartneys in the making?  The children were enjoying the landing pads for the pole vault.
