In this sombre interview, the Principal of Melsisi College gives us an indication of the damage caused to Melsisi College. The backdrop of the fallen cathedral - previously the largest place of worship in Vanuatu - is emblematic of the utter destruction that occurred in the francophone town of Melsisi in West Pentecost, also the largest town on the island. A small silver lining of the coronavirus pandemic is that none of the hundreds of primary and secondary students that would ordinarily have been boarding at the schools in Melsisi were present at the time of the cyclone, thanks to the national State of Emergency put in place by the governement a few days prior.
Mr Nepathier points out that it took 100 years to build Melsisi up to where it was, but it took Harold just one hour to completely destroy it. He appeals to the international community to help them 'stand Melsisi up' once again.
