Taking pride of place in the
Carnival Australia offices now
is this ceremonial walking stick,
presented recently to chief exec
Ann Sherry in honour of P&O
Cruises’ work in Vanuatu.
The Australian line has been a
long-standing partner of the Save
The Children Foundation, which
works to improve the quality of
life for children across remote
South Pacific communities.
Together, the latest endeavour
of the partnership has been
the opening of a new health
dispensary in the Aneityum
community, adding to the recent
achievements of assistance to
two new kindergartens and a
health aid post. All projects completed to date
have been helped by donations
from P&O passengers in the form
of a $1 charge on their onboard
accounts, plus the opportunity to
donate further if so desired.
Guests also have the chance to
tour the Aneityum village while in
Vanuatu, clearly a popular option
with six guides now on staff and
local handicrafts being a popular
source of income.
After a ceremony in Vanuatu,
Chief Silas handed the stick to
P&O Cruises destinations director
Michael Mihajlov, who duly
presented it to Sherry, completing
the chief-to-chief transfer.
The Carnival Australia boss is
