Alma Ambulance

Earlier today in Espiritu Santo, the Ambassador for Japan Mr Hirohisa Chiba handed over the keys to a brand new, state-of-the-art Toyota 4WD ambulance to the ProMedical team.

The Government of Japan through its Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) Programme generously donated the Ambulance worth VUV 6,194,910. It was handed over to Station Manager Jerome Sese in a ribbon cutting ceremony at ProMedical’s headquarters in Luganville. As is customary with ProMedical’s ambulances, they are given a name. Children from Luganville International School were asked to submit names, including Amirah Wensi, who suggested the ambulance should be named after her dad.

Alma Wensi was a very active member of not only his church but the entire Luganville community, a Youth Group Leader and a loving husband and proud father. What’s more, he was the South Pacific WWII Museum’s Project Office Manager until his sad passing last year. The name ‘Alma’ also means lifts the spirits and feeds the soul.

We couldn’t think of a more deserving name for the new ambulance and we’d like to thank and congratulate the ProMedical committee on choosing what couldn’t be a more fitting name for the new emergency vehicle.
