WELCOME Name: Rebecca Solomon Island of Origin: Buninga Island Province: Shefa Position: Port Vila Municipality Youth President.

In August 2013 in Port Vila, Efate I was elected to serve as President of the Port Vila Municipal Youth council.

I was elected with one clear mandate- To work with others to strengthen the participation and voice of Youth in Port Vila.
Port Vila municipal youth leaders from every wards have taken a long hard look at the state of youth engagement and representation in the decision bodies at all levels and we believe the time has come for change in the youth development structure.
I believe that during our deliberation together for these 3 years we will come to understand and make use of the opportunities and put our potential into action and will move courageously forward and bravely find our place in the centre of all sustainable developments.

Welcome to my Municipality.

” God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
2 YOUTH SERVICES GUIDE Description of Port Vila Flag Port Vila is on Efate Island.

Its flag is white, with a nearly square version of the national flag in the upper hoist, and in the centre a burgundy disk bearing the coat of arms and the words Ville de Port Vila arched above the arms and City of Port Vila below.
Brief background of Port Vila municipality Port Vila is the capital and largest city of Vanuatu situated on the coast of the island of Efate, in the Shefa Province, the city population at last cencus (1999) was 29,356, an increase of 55% on the previous census result (1989).

This suggests a 2007 population of about 40,000 or around 65% of the province‟s population.

Port Vila is the economic and commercial centre of Vanuatu.
The area occupied by Port Vila has been inhabited by Melanesian people for thousands of years.

In autumn of 2004, an archaeological expedition known as Teouma discovered a burial site of 25 tombs containing three dozen skeletons of members of the Lapita culture.

Pieces of ceramics found at the site were dated to the 13th century BCE.

In May of 1606, the first Europeans arrived at the island, led by Pedro Fernandez de Quiros and Luis Vaez de Torres.
In the 19th century when the islands were known as the New Herrides, the British possessed economic control of the zone, though by the end of 1880, the economic balance began to favor the French; this transition can be seen in its nickel mines of New Caledonia and plantations.

French citizen Ferdinand Chevillard began buying and clearing land around Port Vila to be converted into the largest French plantation on the island.
Instead, it was converted into the municipality of Franceville, 3 BACKGROUND which declared independence on August 9, 1889, though this only lasted until June of the following year.

It was the first self-governing nation to practice universal suffrage without distinction of sex or race.

Although the population at the time consisted of about 500 native islanders and less than 50 whites, only the latter were permitted to hold office.

One of the elected presidents was a U.S. citizen by birth, R.D.
POLK, a relative of American president James K. Polk.

After 1887, the territory was jointly administered by the French and the British.

This was formalized in 1906 as an Anglo-French Condominium.

During World War II, Port Vila was an American and Australian airbase.

In 1987, cyclone Uma severely damaged the city.

A powerful earthquake in January 2002 caused extensive damage in the capital and surrounding areas.

Bislama is spoken by everyone as the day-to-day language.
In addition, English and French are also widespread.

Other Indigenous languages are also spoken in the city.

Christianity is the predominant religion across Vanuatu, followed by more than 90% of the population.

The largest denomination is the Presbyterian Church in Vanuatu, followed by one third of the population.

The Presbyterian Church of Port Vila is an impressive and sight worthy building opposite the Independence Park.

Roman Catholicism and the Church of Melanesia are also common, each about 15%.
Cathedrale du Sacre-Coueur is a modern Roman Catholic cathedral in Port Vila.

The seat of the Diocese of Port Vila, the church is dedicated to the sacred heart of Joan of Arc.
