Para sport gives new purpose to amputee athlete Jeffrey Iatu After losing his right leg below the knee, Jeffrey Iatu faced an uncertain future, questioning how he would rebuild his life after the amputation.

There is nothing more satisfying than when a program sees the impact of its work ... and this is what happened last week at the South Pentecost Independence Celebration Tournament.

Participants in the V4C program delivered in Pentecost earlier in the year were prominent in officiating (refs, lines people, scoring) the volleyball games at this event, as well as playing, in this tournament.

The referees came from both Pangi and Baie Barrrier communities, and bought their own ref t-shirts (light blue) as their officiating uniform.
The team that won the women’s tournament came from Pangi, with many of the players having been V4C program participants.

Well done evriwan!!! 👏👏🏐

A busy week in Luganville this week as the team have been supporting the Luganville Independence Volleyball tournament being held at Unity Park.
Kicking off yesterday, the 3 registered women's teams completed their matches within the day:
Results: Women’s teams ...
• 1st place = Pepsi Cola Sector 1;
• 2nd place = Green Hill 1;
• 3rd place = Green Hill 2

And today has seen the completion of the men's matches, with the 3 teams participating in this group also.
Results: Men’s teams:
• 1st place = Tokoyo (Tutupa);
• 2nd place = Green Hill 2;
• 3rd place = Green Hill 1

Big thanks also to the team from Tutupa (Tokoyo) who helped V4Cs Stanley Toa set up the volleyball court ready for today's final match between Green Hill 2 vs Tokoyo. ;)

We've also been told that there was some very impressive spiking skills from some of the players, so who knows... we may have to get VVF development coaches up to Santo on another talent ID visit very soon!!!

Tomorrow will see the tournament wrap up with prize presentations.

Well done to our program partner for the work being done in preparation for their National Champs 👏👏
