May 1 in Pango village in Vanuatu is an annual holiday dedicated to those who 'brought the light' to their area. It's a great story of Samoans, some of whom were stranded here who later welcomed Samoan missionaries who just happened to be family. It's quite a celebration that includes a mix of Christian denominations. If you ever get to visit Vanuatu, it's worth visiting Pango village. I'm sure someone would be glad to share their story.

Pango is also the site for the South Efate Language group who are actively involved in publishing Scriptures in their own language. A number of these translators participated in a translation course that we ran back in 2005.
