Tanna's SDA boarding school - Kwataparen Secondary School

A few photos of the school site where the One Day Church is built.

Bell: the top of an old oxygen bottle (very likely an American one of WWII vintage), hangs from the ridge pole and is hit with a rod to sound the bell. 
Shower/toilet block, actually quite new

boys' dorm with mosquito protection in whatever form the boys can supply.

school auditorium a la banyan tree – back stage and the green room are located in the Multiple trunks/roots. This is fairly typical.









Right now at the Vanuatu booth in the Pacific Pavilion at the World Expo currently being held in Shanghai, China, they have recreated the base of a banyan tree as a background for their dance performances. It made the front page on yesterday’s news paper when the dancers from Malakula were not allowed to perform in their usual dancing attire (or should I say, lack thereof) and were required to don grass skirts!
