the title for our blog is taken from the first line of the vanuatan national anthem (yumi means we, as in you-me)

This is our last post as we're flying out of vanuatu first thing tomorrow morning. we're really going to miss the place, not least the view from the top of our road over erakor lagoon and the pacific. we've had a fantastic time here since last june and hopefully we'll come back and visit before too long.
We applied to VSO at the end of 2006. VSO is a development charity which sends volunteers to about 35 developing countries mostly in Africa and Asia. Once you have been accepted by VSO you are matched with a placement that fits your skills and experience www.vso.org.uk
In April we were matched with placements in Vanuatu (we had no idea either!) John will be working as an international legal advisor to the Vanuatan government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Hannah will be working as an advocacy advisor with VSO Vanuatu and VANGO (the
Vanuatan association of NGOs).
