Wan Smol Bag:

a success story

Wwas created in the early 90s.

It is mainly funded by Britain and has covered a wide spectrum of topics ranging from proper use of toilets to coral reefs and turtle protection. On top of the regular adult professionals, it now enrols unschooled children, mainly from Port Vila’s shanty town of Blacksands.

The plays are usually commissioned by various organisations, governmental or not, who want to get their message across. Once written, plays are performed in Vanuatu’s rural islands, in a typical village environ ment. The actors, all of whom are ni- Vanuatu, only need a few props to perform, and can carry them in a small bag. hence
