A new office and warehouse for the Sanma Red Cross Branch will cater for the Sanma province in the northern part of Vanuatu.
The complex was opened last Friday.
The warehouse can easily hold a standard set of kits for up to 1,000 households.
The President of Sanma Province in his speech assured the President of Red Cross Mr Ati George Sokomanu that the Sanma Provincial Government under his leadership will see to it that the Sanma Provincial Government will provide the necessary support to help with the development Sanma Red Cross.
The opening ceremony was done in style with the clearing of the bush to find the new building.
This was done by the Sanma President, the Red Cross President and the former Sanma SG, Mr Joel Path, who was instrumental in the negotiation of the new Red Cross building site within the Sanma Provincial compound.
The bamboo band shocked the audience with their sound in the warehouse after the banyan tree vine was cut by the 3 leaders and the door rolled up.
In accordance with Vanuatu custom, a kava toast was offered by the President of Red Cross to conclude the official program.
