More Malekula....

So the 10 days consisted of going into a village to talk to the chiefs regarding Dr. Gray's project. I was working on organizing the meetings, translating English to Bislama for the research party to the chiefs, and organizing (surprised?) the trip in general! Here's some more pics:
