About Vanuatu

 * "Our mission is to work with Vanuatu communities and health care organizers to improve education, awareness, infrastructure, and medical supply availability in areas that lack health resources. Our ultimate goals are to improve the living conditions of communities in Vanuatu, to foster positive international relations and cultural exchange between volunteers and the people of Vanuatu, and to communicate the living conditions in Vanuatu to Americans.

Dear Kristie, The question is not whether I like your website, nor whether your organization is useful for mankind. The question is whether your link has its place within an encyclopaedic presentation of the country "Vanuatu". Does it provide information, facts, knowledge about the history, geography, culture, politics, society of Vanuatu? Not really. It just happens to be related to Vanuatu in some way or another, just like 76 million other pages on the web ; are we going to add 76 million links to the bottom of wikipedia's "Vanuatu" page? The fact that you are a "useful" organization (which I don't deny) is not a sufficient reason for making an exception to the principle that we are writing a knowledge encyclopaedia (see what WP is not); otherwise how many links are we going to add to the Africa page?? Ale, naoia mi talem finis tingting blong mi, be i tru se fulap ol artikel blong WP ol i stap miksimap eni kaen infomesen we i no long saed blong save. Sipos yufela i laekem blong putum link ia bakegen i stap, i olraet nomo, bae mi no save agensem. Be maet igut blong adem wan smol sentence blong toksave ("Health organization involved in Vanuatu" o wan samting olsem). Hemia nomo ating, mo gudlak long wok blong yufela.
