The village of Erakor is about 20 minutes drive from Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu.
In a combined activity that focused on family history, men, women and young adults volunteered to weed, trim and beautify the graves of their local cemetery.
Louisette Waiane, who participated in the cleanup, said, “We had a really uplifting experience knowing that we are not just helping and taking care of part of our village, but we are serving our ancestors on the other side of the veil.”
