My name is Hayden Brokenshire and this is just a video that sums up my time volunteering at Loone Primary School on the small island of Ambae in Vanuatu. With no running water, no electricity and no internet it was far from what I’m use to at home in Sydney Australia. I met many amazing people and did things I thought I would never have the chance to do. I witnessed how the norms for the people in Vanuatu differ from my own… Like when kids bring machetes to school to peel their fruit and eating bats for lunch. My trip was challenging, eye-opening and without a doubt something I will never forget.
