5. People from Rango Rango Village had not received any relief supplies for a number of days.
It was difficult to get to the village and the Caritas car got stuck in waist-deep mud. People from the village helped dig the car out.

6. A Cash for Work programme was set up in Port Vila to help clean up the neighbourhood.
Young people volunteered to remove debris and generate income over 10 days.

It took months for many families to recover after the cyclone. For many, it was a case of starting again.
Working together, the people of Vanuatu have come a long way since the memories of Cyclone Pam in 2014.
