The appearance of the Pacific Mini Games Mascot, Nasi, and his partner Em Pawa was a highlight of the program.
At every venue where Nasi was invited to join the children, many of them rushed to the big bird to touch and hug him, and some just to touch his tail.
Over the weekend, Port Vila city was busy with different activities, and on Saturday Nasi was at each village of Efate to receive and encourage the first runners of Wilco Round Island Relay who passed by.
