The Vanuatu Cricket Association 2011 calendar has a dot-marked 19th February as kick-off date for Women’s Cricket season in Port Vila.

Last year’s 2-day camp was organized to get the women ready for more serious cricket business for 2011 and beyond.

In preparation for that date women have begun training on 24th January at Independence Park.

Vanuatu Cricket Association (VCA) in 2010 introduced the Women’s Cricket League.

Dear Editor,

Further to the letter in yesterdays Daily Post in regards to the frustrations experienced when trying to deal with VIPA I would like to add my 2 vatu worth to this discussion.

Not only is it extremely frustrating dealing with this organisation but for some reason they have taken it on themselves to be the protector of Ni-Vanuatu rights.

Dear Editor,

I can't help but to question the benefit Vanuatu Investment Promotion Authority is bringing to our potentially prosperous nation.

It appears that VIPA as everyone likes to call it, is an obstacle rather than an authority that promotes Vanuatu and Investments into Vanuatu.

Let us just take a peek into a normal day of a high value investor trying to get VIPA Approvals.

COURTS-DELAYS
Public Prosecutor v Stewart McEwen.

Responding to Forum Leaders’ concerns at the threat of transnational crime in the Pacific, the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), in partnership with the Oceania Customs Organisation (OCO), the Pacific Immigration Directors’ Conference (PIDC) and the Australian Department of Immigration & Citizenship (DIAC), is providing border control training to Vanuatu officials from 26-27 January 2011 in Port Vila.

A group of local businesses have taken the initiative to start an appeal to raise funds for victims of the Queensland floods.

The “Vanuatu Queensland Flood Appeal” is aiming to raise and donate at least $100,000 to the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief.

There are three areas of activity to raise these funds or support those affected by the Queensland floods:

The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) has estimated that the relief response plan for cyclone-hit Tafea Province will cost the government Vt156,665,000.

The money will cover the cost of mobilised damage and need assessment team for the period of two weeks, mobilise relief and distribution operation teams, non food items, food relief items and National Disaster Council (NDC) relief operations and coordination costs.
