Thought --- Nay -- Inspiration Provoking Reading this blog with your class highlighted perspectives few of us allow ourselves to appreciate. Even though some of them don't 'Get It' right now,you cannot help but inspire your high school students and the rest of the us as we begin to realize the 'sober glasses' with which we have been trained to inaccurately observe the world and other people.
Thanks

Thanks! Believe it or not, I'm just now reading this. I'm glad you enjoyed the blog along with the class. We all do our part to help round out students' ideas about the world. Thanks for your encouragement!
Permission to use Pictures Hi Alex,
I know this is probably too late for your project, but you'd be welcome to use pictures from my blog. Please give credit by using the address: mytb.org/sheridan or my name. Thanks and I hope your project went well!
Paradise This is a brilliant job for you guys visiting and working as volunteers in our remote areas in Vanuatu. As a citizen belong to that island ( Maewo), I did not have a change to take a visit to that village which I have relatives there and don't know what the village looks like because I never see or saw a picture of the village. Your nice pictures give me a glue of how it looks like.
I am building a mini resort in my village ( Nasawa) and I will be documenting the resort and the island as a whole which Iam planning my video shootings at Naviso which is one of my shooting locations and this video can be dowload for free on my project website. This is part of advertising, promoting and marketing the island of Maewo and it's remote village to the world.
For your informations my resort which is still to be named will have five rooms, kitchen, 2 bathrooms and toilets, a small museum, a library, a small swimming pool, a restaurant & bar along with its tour which Naviso village will also be one tour and I also want to make sure my clients have access to internet / emails / facebook directly from the mini resort.
Once again thanks for putting your nice story and pictures of Naviso village to the world.
Telling the world about Some unique place in Vanuatu Thanks for you guys who have playing the part of telling the world about this unique place Naviso which located and hiden athe the east coast of Maewo island. We were not aable to do so, therefpre i would like to say thanks for that. nice pictures you have put up. Thanks. thank yu tumas
Can't wait to see it myself! Sher, I know we talked and talked about your trip to Machu Picchu, but somehow reading it makes it all come together. You've made me excited to go there myself! I need to solidify plans and book a trip in early December. Thanks, as always, for your descriptive blog.
Ah! I love the photos, I just miss your witty, informative narratives. That being said, I'm happy you're experiencing these travels fully. In my humble opinion, bloggers that stop frequently to record events often miss other events. Life it up! Your faithful readers will have to be patient and wait until you're home. Speaking of which, I'm SO excited to see you!
Amazed Wow - you two have had quite an adventure. I have followed your blog and have enjoyed reading all of your entries. What a wonderful oppertunity for both of you and I am so proud that you had the guts to do a trip like this.
Can't wait to see you two.
Peace, Aunt Anne

Great write up. Arguably, one of the South Pacifics' most beautifull travel destinations is Vanuatu, it is a stunning country both culturally, and geographically, so diverse with a myriad of thingsto do, but in the end it is the memories of the local people that we all remember when travelling.
You can see thousands of photos of the numerous islands I have taken over the many years living here at:

Just a short note to let you know that I love your blogs. We are all doing fine and the farm work is still going strong. I also was wondering if you got the package that I sent and also what you would like the best for me to send. I enjoy packing those packages.
