Seaside Community There are currently hundreds of children living in the Seaside Community in Port Vila. This is a community who struggle with day to day requirements and often have to fund raise to make enough money to pay for their children's school fees. A typical terms school fee is $60 per term. At $1.30 an hour being the typical local wage it would take over 46 hours to earn enough money to send one child to school for a term. Many of these children have an average of 5 siblings. As a result due to the high rate of unemployment many children miss out from attending school. Live & Learn Environmental Education assisted with the needs of this community with the distribution of school resources, school bags, pencils, paper and provided a small library so that all children in this community have access to learning materials and literature. |

| Pango Kindergarten |
This is a group of kinder students who attend a school which is completely reliant on donations. The teacher is a local widow who believes in the value of education as she was fortunate enough to have attended University through an Australian sponsorship program. She has transformed her house into a kindergarten and volunteers her time to teach the children basic English and Maths. All children in the Pango village aged between four and seven are welcome to attend. Live and Learn delivered sporting equipment, picture books, and writing resources to this kindergarten.
