AFL develops a cultural center in Tasmalum (South Santo)
Who would have believed it still a year ago? Alliance Française of Luganville which, formerly had evil to develop in Luganville, inaugurated Thursday June 14, 2007 its first antenna in the enclosure of the college of Molivalivu in Tasmalum.
At the beginning of her activity in August 2006, the new team of Alliance Française of Luganville, composed with energetic and voluntary people, decided, after having been completely established in Luganville, to renew her stock of books and consequently to throw the first stones of the creation of an antenna on the island of Espiritu Santo. The South Santo, especialy the communities of Ipayato, Tasmalum, Buama, Okoro and Namuru, was quickly regarded as favourable with the installation of a small structure. Indeed, the insulation of these communities and the quasi impracticable state of the roads make almost impossible the access of Alliance Française of Luganville to the schools and private, eager however to maintain their French-speaking characteristic. Supported and managed by dynamic people, AFL thus created a small arts centre in Tasmalum, thanks to a library for youth and adults, in order to develop culture on the schools and communities of Tasmalum, Ipayato, Namuru, Buama and Okoro.
Hardly inaugurated, the antenna of Alliance Française of Luganville inTasmalum wants to be undertaking because, with the presidence of Juliette Tieya, the committee of the antenna composed with Tasmalum dynamic people like Tony Tabison or Mathias Teilemb decided to organize the first edition of "la fête de la musique" in Tasmalum. One of the strategies of Alliance Française of Luganville on Espiritu Santo is to create local dynamism, to support them sufficiently so that these deployed energies can perdurer. Second one is, once the started animabrousse project, is to regularly link the antenna of the South Santo and Alliance Française to Luganville in order to intensify the cultural relationship between Luganville and the communities of South Santo and especially to support the committee of the antenna of Tasmalum. The animabrousse project will be born when Alliance is able, thanks to its funds car, to acquire a vehicle adapted to the conditions of Santo. This funds open in September 2006 is currently of 140.000 vatu following gifts of Bernard Sexe, the former adviser of co-operation of the French Embassy based in Port-Vila, Jean Jacques Lauret, owner of Natapoa Motel and former president of Alliance Française of Luganville and Jean Ravau Kolomule in the name of the Association of the Producers of Navaka of the South Santo.
