Charles Spaight Pasteur’s correspondence from Antigua (1850)

St. Johns, Antigua, February 21st 1850

Dear Father,

After a very boisterous and tedious passage of 15 days we arrived at this place after encountering two gales of wind from S.S. N. one on the 9th and 10th of February, when we had to lie low for two days and nights, but she behaved very well after throwing over part of our deck-load which we did on Sunday evening; and then we had head winds until within one or two days south of the Islands.

L’école Laffay de Do Néva

Faire école de la construction d’une école

Les apparences sont souvent trompeuses. Ainsi, à Do Néva, près de Houaïlou, il existe au bord de la route un vieux bâtiment, massif et laid, dans lequel on faisait encore la classe l’année dernière. On voit bien que la construction est ancienne et solide, mais délabrée et sans grâce. Pourtant, voici environ 70 ans, c’était la première école protestante construite par les mélanésiens eux-mêmes pour accueillir et former les “natas” du pasteur Leenhardt. A l’époque, elle était belle. Et elle peut le redevenir. Continue reading “L’école Laffay de Do Néva”
