I visited Vanuatu this week  –surely a top runner in any contest for paradise on earth. Everywhere I go there is a beautiful vista – blue lagoons and ocean, sunny sky, stunning waterfalls and clear pools in lush and verdant forests.

"LIFE" (special matinee for children)

350 school children from Fiji today witnessed a special performance by the 2012 Tadra Kahani winners and the premiere of a new dance performance "LIFE". Performed by Oceania Dance Theatre in Suva, "LIFE" weaves together different stories depicting how we relate to one another and connect and communicate to create the world we live in. Creative arts use song, dance and visuals to tell stories and engage people to talk about issues that affect us all. LIKE if you agree that ALL children should have access to creative arts.

Education is critical to a child’s development and well-being

Education is critical to a child’s development and well-being. UNICEF Pacific in partnership with Ministries of Education and regional organisations devotes special efforts to giving all girls and boys equal learning opportunities. Innovative approaches are being used to ensure children complete basic education and achieve learning outcomes; addressing the holistic development of the child; and contributing to learning and motivation to encourage children to remain in school and to complete basic education.
