Jessica Macreveth

Age

Where are you from?

I am from Santo.

Tell us about your family?

I am a mother of a two year old daughter and I live in one of the biggest villages in Efate with my child and my parents. My partner is traveling to Australia as a Seasonal Worker Program (SWP). I have three brothers, the eldest brother lives in Australia, the second brother is based at Santo and working at the Pacific Dive, and the youngest brother is also part of the Seasonal Worker Program (SWP). Our father holds a position in our church community as a pastor and our mother is a dedicated housewife.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

During my spare time I like to take naps. My main hobby is sewing.

What do you study or do for work?

I left school at year 11 and from there I pursued business management and completed short courses at the Chamber of Commerce, and I also had the opportunity to register at Youth Challenge. I can confidently say that I am very busy during the week with my sewing business, especially having to receive regular orders from clients living in Port Vila.

What do you aspire to do in the future?

I want to have my own boutique.

What is a quote that you live by?

One quote that I live by is “Seek ye first the kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as unique. I can spot my own design if someone wears it from a distance. The reason why I love fashion, because from my own knowledge, society body shames women of all sizes, particularly larger bodied women.

Fashion is not about the shape of your body – it’s about the confidence you put in it. I would also say that fashion positively changes my mood when I feel sad or have negative thoughts about myself.

Who influences your style?

I love the African Style. They are the ones that influence my style.

What beauty products do you use?

I usually use coconut oil and lady million perfume.

Any fashion tips?

All women and girls who want to wear whatever clothes they want but are afraid of the stigma due to their body shape or age, do not worry because the fashion industry has no age and weight limit in it.

What are three words you would use to describe yourself?

Independent, Confident and mentally strong.

What does being a woman mean to you?

Being a woman is a blessing. You can create a life inside of you. If you are a single mother, you can play two roles in your baby’s life, the role of a mother and a father as well. Your body is a powerful tool because your body can transform and adapt in any situation, an example is pregnancy. The body of a woman is more capable and resilient than the body of a man.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

My sewing business is something that I have accomplished this far. I started sewing when I was 18 years old and it has been 4 years since I have been sewing and designing. When I was a little girl, I have always dreamt of making my own clothes and today I can honestly admit that I have achieved it to a point where I did not only sew my own clothes but for other people also.

Priest Cleared of Rape Charges March 14, 2023
The Supreme Court of Vanuatu has acquitted Mr. Henry Crowby on two charges of sexual intercourse without consent, contrary to sections 90 and 91 of the Penal Code [CAP135]. It follows allegations of Mr. Crowby, an Anglican Priest, committing the offence at a motel in February and at his home in March last year. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. When handing the verdict, Supreme Court Judge James Paul Geoghegan stated that in assessing the evidence, the court has found the defendant, Mr. Crowby, and all defense witnesses to be straightforward and consistent in the way in which they gave their evidence and accepted it. He evaluated that the inconsistencies of the accuser party, both during the course of her evidence, and in respect of her account of events to others raises not only a reasonable doubt but a very significant doubt regarding Mr. Crowby’s guilt. Mr. Crowby acknowledged the fact that he is proven not guilty, but this is not the end of the legal proceedings, as he is filing a case for defamation against the opposition parties, for tarnishing his reputation as a chief, Priest, father and leader in the community. He commented that the court stated that the public solicitor and police failed to proof adequate evidence to prove him guilty of the charges laid. Mr. Crowby commented that the accusations had placed pressure upon him and his families. Mr. Crowby admitted that he is relieved with the given judgment on February 14, 2023, and affirmed that a defamation case is in progress. _______________________________________________________________________ SOURCE: Vanuatu Daily Post

Vanuatu Braces for Impending Category 3 Cyclone February 28, 2023
Vanuatu is bracing for the impact of a Category 2 cyclone, which is expected to intensify to a Category 3 over the course of this week. This was confirmed by Anthony Wong, the Weather Forecaster at the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD). Tropical Cyclone (TC) Judy is moving in a south-southwesterly direction. The cyclone is expected to move through the islands of Vanuatu starting from TORBA to TAFEA. Wong stated that TORBA province should expect a Category 1 cyclone at around 11pm on the previous day, but the intensity of the cyclone is expected to rise to Category 2 from the morning up until lunch. The cyclone’s intensity is predicted to increase to Category 3 when it moves through SHEFA and TAFEA, before decreasing back to Category 2 as it moves out of Vanuatu. However, this prediction has yet to be confirmed. The VMGD has issued alerts to prepare people for the cyclone season. Blue alerts predict a cyclone that is expected after 48 hours, while a Yellow alert predicts a cyclone in the next 36 hours, and a Red alert predicts a cyclone that is expected within the next 24 hours. People must be aware of what to expect during a cyclone, including heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, and rough seas. Wong also mentioned that another cyclone is expected to form, but it is likely to be a tropical low. However, a cyclone has formed in the Coral Sea, northeast of Australia, and Vanuatu is also expected to be affected by it. ______________________________________________________________________ SOURCE: VANUATU DAILY POST

First Nations Writers Founder visits Vanuatu February 22, 2023
First Nations Writers, a charitable organisation based in Australia, is making waves in the literary world by promoting the work of indigenous authors and writers from the Greater Pacific. The organisation’s founder and chairperson, Mrs. Anna Borzi AM, recently explained the role of First Nations Writers, and how it aims to reward the cultural and intellectual creativity of writers and creatives from the Greater Pacific. Mrs. Borzi is currently in Vanuatu, where she met with local writers who have been writing for a long time. She explained that First Nations Writers wants to attract more writers to tell stories from the Pacific and take these stories internationally. Mrs. Borzi is convinced that no one can write about Vanuatu better than someone from Vanuatu who understands the culture and language. This is why the organization is encouraging people from the Pacific to share their stories. During her trip, Mrs. Borzi also visited the University and bookshops in Vanuatu to see the culture of writing there. She highlighted the importance of the stories of ordinary people in the villages, which are historically significant over a long period of time. First Nations Writers visited Fiji, where they met with wonderful people and writers who were eager for international platforms to share their stories. The organisation is now planning to host its second festival in May, which will feature contemporary artists and authors from Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. The festival will also award ten winners with AUSD5, 000 each, and the organization will help to publish their books. Mrs. Borzi is hoping to host the festival in Vanuatu in 2023, where she believes it will have a significant impact on the literary world. First Nations Writers is committed to promoting and rewarding the work of indigenous authors and creatives from the Greater Pacific. First Nations Writers is a unique organisation that also gives awards to deserving writers with the help of independent judges. The goal is to collect as many stories as possible from the Greater Pacific and to publish and share these stories with the world. The organisation is regulated in Australia. _____________________________________________________________________ SOURCE: Vanuatu Daily Post

MAV Executive acknowledges role of radio broadcasters February 14, 2023
The 12th edition of World Radio Day (WRD) was celebrated on February 13, 2023, with the theme “Radio and Peace.” The newly elected Media Association blong Vanuatu (MAV) congratulated all radio broadcasters in Vanuatu and recognizes the importance of radio in communicating information to a wide audience. “The theme ‘Radio and Peace’ reminds us of the fundamental role the radio plays to communicate information to our people, especially during conflicts and natural disasters, and in promoting peace and stability in the country,” MAV President Lillyrose Welwel said. The day also celebrates radio’s ability to improve international cooperation between broadcasters, promote access to information, freedom of expression, and gender equality over the airwaves. Every year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) plans activities with broadcasters, Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), national authorities, and the public to celebrate WRD. MAV President Welwel highlighted radio’s ability to reach the widest audience in Vanuatu, besides newspapers, and its role in exchanging information, providing social interchange, and educating people. Radio is a powerful medium for celebrating humanity’s diversity and democratic discourse, and radio stations should serve diverse communities, offering a variety of programs, viewpoints, and content, and reflecting the diversity of audiences in their organizations and operations. ___________________________________________________________ SOURCE: VANUATU DAILY POST

Santo Women’s Network aids cyclone, landslide victims February 13, 2023
The Santo Sunset Environment Women’s Network (SSEWN) has taken the initiative to provide aid to the affected villagers in North West Santo following the recent natural disasters that hit the area. Malpoi village was severely impacted by the recent cyclone and subsequent landslide, which caused damage to the land and made it difficult for the villagers to move around due to the mud. After conducting an assessment, SSEWN found that the villagers were in dire need of humanitarian relief supplies and assistance, as all of their gardens had been destroyed and their water sources contaminated. In response, the SSEWN team traveled back to their base in Tasmate to gather the necessary supplies for distribution to the affected families. Some families had to relocate to a safer area due to the landslide, and SSEWN is stepping forward as the first Non-Government Organisation to offer assistance to the community in North West Santo. Chairman of SSEWN, Allan Taman, emphasized the importance of providing aid to the community, who are in need of support during this challenging time. SSEWN is demonstrating its commitment to helping those in need, and their quick response to the natural disaster highlights the importance of aid organizations in providing assistance during times of crisis. _____________________________________________________________________ SOURCE: VANUATU DAILY POST
