“There are no bills here, everything we have is free and everything we do is ours.”

Melano moved recently to the house next to the school in Nakra. She lives with her brother. Like Manoni Oninani, she loves to live in the village: “There are no bills here, everything we have is free and everything we do is ours.”

But what she likes the most is to spend time with the kids: “For now I am working at the school and teaching informatics. I have also created a small group with children and we are studying singing.” 

The Nakra music group has uncovered several very talented singers.

Melano is a music teacher from Nakra.
