He is 16 years old

Comes from  Big Bay on the Island of 

Espiritu Santo 

Speaks Bislama, English & his village language

He has 4 brothers & 4 sisters 

Mum & Dad are local gardeners and so do not earn enough money for further education studies

Dickson would like to go to the hospitality school - and now - thank you to his wonderful sponsors - he can do this.

Tourism in Vanuatu is the main source of income to the country and so many children pursue a career in tourism &/or hospitality as they are almost certain to acquire full time positions in the industry. You can see by the map of Dickson's home Island that there are many resort opportunities there..
