The Vanuatu Teachers Association has donated a fibreglass boat to help teachers move between the Banks and Torres islands.
The boat was provided following a request from 43 teachers based in the province.
The teachers will now be able to move around with ease and access banking facilities, hospital and other services in the islands.
The seven-metre boat was purchased at Vt676,000, has a passenger capacity of twelve people. It can also carry light cargo.
The boat was delivered to the TORBA Bulwea executive last weekend.
