More than 11,000 people from Ambae island remain on neighbouring islands after being forced to evacuate because authorities feared the Manaro volcano would erupt.
Its threat level was reduced a week ago and the Vanuatu government is now making assessments to pave the way for people to return home next month.
Henry Vira is part of the Ambae Manaro Disaster Committee, set up specifically to help deal with this evacuation.
