The Wonder List with Bill Weir
The Wonder List: Vanuatu
Aired March 20, 2015 - 21:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
[21:00:00] BILL WEIR, THE WONDER LIST, HOST: I'm Bill Weir. When we launched my new show, The Wonder List, I knew we had a start with some of the most wonderful people I've ever met and the most beautiful islands I'd ever seen. But now, just a few months after my visit to Vanuatu, those folks are really in the aftermath of one the most destructive cyclones in recent times.
So tonight, we'd like to take you back to Vanuatu before the storm and through the hour share ways that you can help out. I remember one tribe that looked simply telling me we have everything we need. Well tonight, they need us more than ever.
These are the landlords of paradise. Owners of some of the last unspoiled islands on the planets and when I saw them in this photograph, I just said they go there. I had to find out how long they could pull on the life this pure. How long they can hold off the temptation to sell it all and join the modern world.
So, I said goodbye to my kid and flew back in time. Climbed the Volcano. Hop a boat. Made some friends. I'm just drink a half a coconut of somebody else's spit.
And when I climbed to be exact caught in that photo. I discovered there is a lot more to this place that meets the eye.
It turns like back in modern garden Eden right before they bite the apple.
My name is Bill Weir and I'm a story teller. I have reported from all over the world. And I have seen so much change. So I made a list, the most wonderful places to explore right before they change forever.
This is "The Wonder List".
What is your definition of paradise? Does it include water slides and a championship golf course or do you arrive at a tropical resort and wonder what heaven was like before we showed up?
Before the locals gave farming to serve juice to the jetlag, stopped fishing to dance for the camera (inaudible).
Well I can't help but wonder if there is still a Hawaii without hotels somewhere out there at (inaudible) before burger joints. And this, this is pretty damn close. Welcome to Vanuatu. Eighty-three perfect little islands in the south pacific where air travel usually involves a plane that is much older than the pilot.
Hi, Nick (ph). I'm Bill.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Bill, nice to meet you.
WEIR: You are a pilot. You are our chauffeur.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's right. Let me take you down to town today.
WEIR: You look -- I got to say alarmingly young.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I got that a lot. I get that a lot.
WEIR: It's a 1973 Britain Norman islander are chariot to Vanuatu for the next eight or nine days. They say she maybe small but she slow. I have been described the same way.
There is talk of expanding the airport here in capital of Port Vila. Talk of bigger planes bringing more tourists to nicer hotels. The Chinese are building gigantic new convention centers.
But the other 82 islands of Vanuatu are very different. Some like this, some like that. Some tribes that embrace change, others that want to keep it simple. Let somebody else put on pants and go punch a cloak.
[21:05:05] So this is a country across roads, a land of low islands vulnerable to rising seas, a wonderland vulnerable to developers and profit motive.
The modern world is closing in fast. And while some tribes can't wait to join others are fighting that change and it's a fight that pits island against island, neighbor against neighbor. And the tug of war between tradition and progress is a special stark on the island of Tanna. Thanks to that, a very live, very active volcano.
Were you ever afraid of a big chunk of lava coming through roof?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, it happens. It's a good way of dying, man.
Philip will be my guide on Tanna and perched in the back of Philip's truck is the man who inspired this journey.
An internationally renowned photographer name Jimmy Nelson.
JIM NELSON, BRITISH PHOTOJOURNALIST: (inaudible).
WEIR: For years, he used his camera skills to sell beer and sports cars but his real dream was to shoot the most exotic tribes on the planet before they pass away. He spent years tracking to the ends of the earth and captured stunning people, in amazing places. But his favorite shoot happened here in Vanuatu.
This is it, (inaudible) mountain. As they give the illusion that there clomps of ash smoke but it's just this big cumulonimbus clouds.
NELSON: In here they I believe in (inaudible) in that volcano is a living god.
WEIR: Right.
NELSON: And it's far removed as that seems to be (inaudible) here now and feeling that (inaudible).
WEIR: They're right. They're right?
And here is where that belief system comes from, a village where children do not learn math or science but how to knock birds out of the sky.
Manipulate the spirit world and worship the volcano. They are Shamans in training at a South Pacific (inaudible).
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They can make miracles. They can't change the weather. They can't give sun now but they can easily change to make a rain fall and they...
WEIR: Who can change that? The spirits?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah. The spirits. It's their link.
WEIR: I see. I see.
The man in charge is Chief Isaac and he explains how in the 1940s a god appeared on Tanna in a form of an American soldier named John Frum.
The god told them that if they reject the Christian missionaries and stayed true to all customs. They would be rewarded with boat load of American cargo.
Well, then came World War II and boat loads of American cargo, prophecy fulfilled, they thought. And to this day, the U.S. flag is a religious symbol for this so called cargo cults.
So the volcano speaks to you? Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes (inaudible).
WEIR: They have to be ready. And they believe John Frum lives inside the volcano with their ancestors.
In fact Chief Isaac warns that if our hearts are not pure, climbing the volcano could bring danger and pain.
Well, here goes nothing.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WEIR: Behold Mount Yasur, one of the most accessible live volcanoes anywhere in the world.
NELSON: The whole of Tanna is based around (inaudible) and they might be erruptions which occasionally we're hearing is we're climbing up here now.
WEIR: Yeah.
NELSON: Walked up into the heavens.
WEIR: It's so surreal to come out to this lush, thick, green jungle and then find a moonscape and as you get closer, hear these percussive booms and then stand here. Wow.
Two years back, a Japanese tourist and two guys were killed by flying chunks of molten rock coming out of this thing.
I talked to the relative of one of the man who was killed. He said that his uncle had got into a fight with the family hadn't made his heartbreak (ph) before coming up to holy ground and that's what caused him his life. Just to be safe, we paid that witch doctor off.
The sulfurous gas burns the throats and eyes. Every boom brings and involuntary flinch.
Legend has that this glow caught the eye of Captain Cook who were the first white man to Vanuatu. Seems like thousands more with pay good money to come see it but Chief Isaac and his cargo called are fiercely opposed turning this into a tourist attraction.
[21:15:08] So I have new empathy for the tribe Jimmy brought up here a couple years ago.
They are known as the Yakel and they live a good two hours away but Jimmy convinced them to post up here for dramatic effects.
This is the Yakel's natural home, a cozy corner of the forest where they have been farming, bartering the same way for thousands of years.
Perfectly consent to let modern life passed on by.
NELSON: I bought you a presents. You want to open this? Thank you. You remember?
WEIR: If they are annoyed by strangers crushing reckless, they're hiding really well. They even arouse the whole tribe for a welcoming dance.
This is Albie (ph), great guy and what's probably rude to bring it up, we're all thinking it so I have to ask you about the penis sheath in the room. Is what is this called, a nambas?
He tells mean they are first given to a boy around three or four after a ritual circumcision out in the forest.
Is it comfortable? It looks horribly uncomfortable.
You enjoy it? See, I'm a boxer's man. I like boxer shorts.
Now, you might think that living like this in 2015 is the result of isolation or innocence but not so much. Few of these guys have actually been to the big city. Occasionally,
he sent the guy like Tom here to Port Vila to learn English, modern manners.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you have no money it's bad. Here, if you have no money, you have food here.
WEIR: What would happen if one of these little guys said, "You know what I don't like village anymore. I want to move to the big city." Would you allow that?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Maybe, I'll tell him or someone tell him that in the big city (inaudible), but here, it's better here, better life here and better food. Everything is better here.
WEIR: Yeah.
NELSON: Come, ladies. Come, come, come, come here. Here. Come, come, come, come, come, come. Come on, sweet. Come. The whole idea is that they become possible to treat.
One, two, three. Yeah. Good.
WEIR: Seeing these beautiful kids, through a westernized and also feeling that there must be medicine they need or what education might do for their futures, is that a imperialistic attitude?
NELSON: I think, perhaps it is. But I think, they didn't need help, to be honest. I mean, they look as if they're helping themselves.
WEIR: Yeah.
NELSON: They have absolutely everything that they have to build, to subjectively choose what's valid and not valid, as suppose to running like we do, like headless chickens more and more and more and more and more and more.
WEIR: So you think you can live like this forever?
Speaking of relaxed, I hear there is a secret ingredient that helps keep these folks so easy going. It's called kava and the Prime Minister of Vanuatu who has invited me over to his nearby village to try to which seems absolutely delightful.
[21:20:007] Right until the moment I learned how it is made.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WEIR: There are three things you never want to see made, sausage, television and a drink called Kava on the island of Tanna.
Can I? OK. Just, you know. It's cool. Taste like a (inaudible).
Now, coming in I knew the pacific island there's cocktail of choice is made from a tough jungle root banned in many western countries. It's like Novocain I can already -- I'm losing feeling on the inside of my mouth. What I didn't know is that on this particular island they don't grind it by hand. Don't watches this America.
[21:24:59] No, don't patronize me that's my panic, that's my panic. It's so small compared to (inaudible) Kava (inaudible). See thank you for covering up mine.
But it wasn't until they started until straining this gook with rain water and an old flower sack and I realize the full implications. See my host at this gathering is a number one chief of Vanuatu, Prime Minister Joe Natuman. And out of respect he gets the first cup. And as his guest.
Thank you. Cheers?
With everyone watching I get the second. No thank you is not an option.
Actually I think I'm catching a buzz. It doesn't really get you drunk but comfortably numb. The fact, when the government try to ban it years back, violence soared, so they brought it back.
JOE NATUMAN, PRIME MINISTER, VANUATU: Maybe we should start introducing Vanuatu, in our (inaudible) Syrians and Iraqis and all those people are being so crazy.
WEIR: Kava could solve the Middle East.
NATUMAN: That's right.
WEIR: Exactly all right.
Prime Minister Joe is new to international diplomacy and in his first speech to United Nations last fall and like the leaders of many low island nations he begged them to focus on one issue.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
NATUMAN: Climate change is a meter global challenge for all of us. For some Pacific states, we are facing (inaudible) threat.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
WEIR: There is in alarming number of Americans who are skeptical that it's even happening. And that island nations see this as an easy way to get some extra money. What is the reality when it comes to climate change for an island nation like this one?
NATUMAN: For some of the smaller islands and we did in Vanuatu is, would be disastrous. I mean we have seen because we've been living here years of years, we can see the sea is rising.
WEIR: You can see that it actually changes.
NATUMAN: You can see how it changes. WEIR: A warmer planet to likely affect their crops during stronger storms, but folks in these highland villages are relatively safe from the rising tides. But our next stop includes communities that live just above sea level. Places where they're thrill see one flight a month land on the grass patch that is the Mota Lava International Airport.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Welcome to Mota Lava.
WEIR: You're the man Nick.
On this island, there are around 1,500 people and two cars. This is the one that runs. Sort of.
It started. I will never complain about New York City taxi cabs ever again.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.
WEIR: That's the gas tank slashing in the front seat. Jimmy straddles the roof, I hang on to the bags and this is Rey (ph), trying to play a cool that we are some of the first outsiders he's ever met.
Any good night clubs around here.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah, no we don't have night club.
WEIR: No night clubs, no.
After a low tide detour, we switch to a water taxi for the final push.
What's your name?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: John.
WEIR: Hey John, I'm Bill.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
WEIR: Thanks for the ride, men. And at long last, we're here. See that highest point? That is the rock of Ra. 10 years ago Jimmy Nelson saw a picture of it on the internet and knew he had to come, knew he had to meet the people who live around it and put it to together in one spectacular photograph. He told me how they perform the snake dance at the base of that sacred rock that day and as arrange the same for us now.
And filtered like its hard not to feel like guess in a oral sanctuary.
[21:30:08] But then the spell is broken, by this guy.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: On behalf of this group, I would like to say, thank you very much for your attention.
WEIR: His name is Bob (ph).
And do you do this just for the tourist or do you do it for yourself too?
BOB: We do things specifically to the tourist.
WEIR: Yeah.
He is the guy in Jimmy's epic photograph.
But it turns out that he lives in a village where weed whackers and cell phones are quickly replacing bows and arrows. Unlike the tribes on Tanna who reject missionaries and modernity, these folks are mostly Anglican Christians and budding entrepreneurs. Bob still remembers the moment Jimmy showed up, asked him to dress up and climb a rock and told him he would be a star.
BOB: Yes, I mean it was crazy. Because I know I would do it before. Jimmy give me the money and I build my first house.
WEIR: But what is the price of his new fame and what is his price to sell this paradise?
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[21:35:17] NELSON: Guys can you all come sit. Everybody, come, come, come.
WEIR: As we saw on the Yakel Village, when it comes to directing his subjects, Jimmy Nelson is not shy.
NELSON: You'll become as famous as Bob.
WEIR: And they respond like employees which is understandable, because in order to get a filming permit, the government of Vanuatu requires that we make a donation of a few $100 to each village.
So this is just Ross version of the Tribal (inaudible) show we saw back at the big resort buffet. They may not have the facilities yet, but they have hospitality to spare.
That's how they get back at the tourist, right there at end. That's a little sneaky (inaudible).
But while dancing is one thing, climbing the rock of Ra, that is a special treats. And I'm not sure which is more astounding, the view or the strength of a cell phone signal.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hello.
WEIR: Baby, I'm so sorry to wake you up but I have to call you from the most amazing spot.
It is just one vivid sign of the changes. Another is Bob's new found fame which started the day Jimmy came to town but first, the stranger and his ideas scared him.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So when we go up the rock, like I'm feeling I'm not free to stand here so I went away from Jimmy. WEIR: Because nobody goes on top of that rock. It's not safe.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. It's not safe.
WEIR: His neighbors warned him that climbing a rock would anger the spirits who might just throw him to his death. But Bob's father gave him a special prayer to shout during the climb. And Jimmy gave him 200 bucks and the promise of celebrity.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So it gave more power.
WEIR: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's, OK...
WEIR: I want to be a star.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I want to be warrior.
WEIR: People have seen these photos. And are starting to come. A Korean film crew just put him on a T.V. movie.
Do you think your photographs would have as much impact if you had brought somebody here in his shorts and t-shirt?
NELSON: Good question. No. No. They wouldn't have this much impact, absolutely. This (inaudible) is powerful. It's culturally. It's historic. And the reason (inaudible) to it as well.
WEIR: Totally.
NELSON: If it wasn't in that way people wouldn't look at the pictures.
WEIR: What worries you about the future of these people? What is it that you're afraid will pass away?
NELSON: I am terrified that they believe that this isn't it and that there is something better. And that they'll abandoned this nature and they move to eventually Port Vila.
WEIR: But do you think it's possible for them to increase their standard of living and keep at this pristine at the same time.
NELSON: Well now, you get into a debate, what is standard of living? You know, standard of living surrounding yourself in concrete and then eating medicine all day and having stress.
WEIR: Yeah.
NELSON: Well it make the better off that the beach is full over of a overweight people wearing the Bermudas (ph) and eating French fries with ketchup and mayonnaise on them? I find that debate...
WEIR: Don't get personal man. I like fries.
But until fast food arrives, this is how our new friends grocery shop.
[21:40:11] And all of these is just the appetizer.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WEIR: Even on a place like Mota Lava, the hustle and bustle gets to be too much sometimes. Then the guys here want to get away from the daily grind, they jump into a boat and go camping.
At a place in the middle of nowhere, called Reef Island. Instead of packing food for this camping trip, they brought bows and arrows for the shallows and spears made of bicycle spokes for the reef. But the most stunning example, the bounty of these waters comes when they grab a net.
And once it is in place, the catch is over in about 90 seconds.
My goodness, look at this. That's not fishing, that's not fair. When I fish, I have to sit and drink beer for eight hours before I get one bite.
[21:45:02] This is amazing. Look at this. Well I guess we have dinner.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Number one.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Number one fish.
WEIR: They tell me this is the second time they've ever hosted visitors here, so it's BYOB. Bring your own bedroom.
Home sweet home.
The dinning room, Al fresco.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Nice.
WEIR: Very nice.
By the time I roll out, Bob and his crew have been up for hours, sun is their alarm clock, tides are their watch.
Not a lot happens here. You roll out of the hut before dawn, first thing on your mind is, "What are we eating today? And do I have to catch it or pick it?" But what happens when these guys decide they want more out of life? What happens when they decide they want to send their kid to a batter school or afford treatment in a better hospital?
And maybe the idea of selling a little bit of these paradise to a hotel chain, makes more sense. And who are we to say they can't have a smooth road and a flat screen T.V.?
There are not public schools on Ra, and private tuition is a few hundred dollars, more than some families make in a year. So for many, change can't come fast enough. With every tourist visit, another villager can afford a phone. And the only hotel on the island is about to get a Wifi.
Do you know what a screensaver is?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Screensaver, yes.
WEIR: So you live in a screensaver.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thank you. Thank you.
WEIR: Yang (ph) owns this little three bedroom startup. It was a farm, until his father announced on his death bed that the family should build a place for tourists.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My hope is to get more tourists here and we shall have a little bit of money, in every people.
WEIR: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Not because of me to having more money in my pocket, I don't think I will have that now.
WEIR: You just want your community to get richer. Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.
WEIR: He tells me of the day a white man came and said, "Name your price." Yang (ph) threw out the biggest number he could think of, $5,000. Man said, I'll give you $20,000.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And he get his (inaudible) book. I never seen a check in my life.
WEIR: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And he said, "I'll going to pay you now." I said, "With that paper?" He said, "Yeah. (inaudible)." I get, "No, no, no, I don't need that paper. I need money."
WEIR: Cash.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cash.
WEIR: Cash on the (inaudible) maybe. Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This man came here and he was very, very friendly.
WEIR: Bob has a similar story about another rich white man. This one's from California, who had plans for the entire island.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Three million.
WEIR: OK, so that's $30,000.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. Three million is only half of these island. WEIR: OK.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
WEIR: So he wanted to buy half of this island for $30,000. You could stay in the other half and then work in his hotel.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And next time he'd come back with money now.
WEIR: He came back with actual cash.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cash money.
WEIR: OK.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We the big money, he open up the cash money and said, "There's your money." I never seen a big bag of money, it is my first. I see the big money, like I see in television, but not in the real...
WEIR: Yeah. Hey, I've never seen a big bag of cash. Like -- not like that.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And when I'm seeing, I -- all my body is shaking.
WEIR: I'm sure.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah, is shaking and all my teeth running...
WEIR: Oh my god.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... like I'm crying. And I said, "I'm going to say yes or no, this my money, just front of me."
WEIR: In the end, he just couldn't bring himself to sell. But for his neighbors, the temptation was so much harder to resist.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The man say, "You buy bite it. Yes, you can buy it."
WEIR: But the women...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The whole island, but the women said, "Oh no."
WEIR: No way.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No way. Yes.
[21:50:01] WEIR: Interesting.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
WEIR: Yes, the land ladies of paradise didn't want to become tenants. But it seems like only a matter of time before someone makes them an offer no one can refuse.
So a lot of white people come and they get electricity and better roads and a lot of these things here. It will change your life. It will change the rhythms of your life, what time you go to bed, when you wake up, when you get the fish. Maybe your children will be working in a restaurant, instead of fishing on the reefs.
Is that OK?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. To me, it's OK.
WEIR: It's OK to you, yeah. Be care for what your wish for.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WEIR: Even in strange lands, there are always glimpses of our shared humanity. Like this one, guys on Ra, flipping through Jimmy's book, pointing and laughing at all the naked foreigners. A reminder that misunderstanding other cultures is a universal pitfall, even for guys willing to go to the ends of the earth to better understand them.
[21:55:00] The title, before they pass away, what do you mean by pass away?
NELSON: Literally, it means before they die. Amongst the enormous amounts of causes of reaction to what I've done, I've received quite a bit of negative criticism, technically speaking, the title is wrong. But I use it very, very, very deliberately.
I used it to stir reaction, I want to get people to notice, the static, the purity, the power of where they come from or what they stand for will die very, very, very, very soon.
WEIR: He has more than a few critics. Human rights groups who say his work glosses over real crimes against humanity, from the Amazon to Tibet. Anthropologist who point out less than authentic details, like Bob on the rock, staged, spread some romantic ideal of the novel savage.
They called you a (inaudible) who...
NELSON: Yes.
WEIR: ... takes advantage of these people in order to sell books. What do you say to them in that criticism?
NELSON: Many (inaudible) gather funding out of communicating the suffering of tribal people. They play on a hot springs (ph), they play on our guilt. By selling them, it's suffering. By presenting them is (inaudible). I know and I know this for a fact, the consumer in the modern world is not interested anymore.
I sort of celebrated something ethnic in tribal.
WEIR: Yeah. NELSON: Look at this power, look at this static, look at this wealth, look at this pride, we don't have it anymore. We are overindulgence in our consumer life style. But that's not the answer. Standing on top of the mountain in a skirt, holding a spear, isn't also the answer. Somewhere down the middle is the answer.
WEIR: He believes that guys like this can have it all. With fishing and dancing in the clean clear water, because tourist who prefer this to swim up bars and water slides, will pay for a taste. Call it echo- ethno tourism.
NELSON: There will be more of this coming. And they may come to see you reenacting something that is gone in the past, that's surely better than putting on that grey T-shirt and running to the city, living under a bridge, hoping and praying for a job that you will never get.
WEIR: If I gave you a bunch of money, what would be the first thing you'd buy?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A big poultry project.
WEIR: Poultry?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
WEIR: Big chicken coop or something. Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Big chicken. Yes.
WEIR: Yes, a chicken coop. Because he heard that tourists like to eat eggs for breakfast. And Yang's fantasy purchase.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would like solar panel system.
WEIR: Solar power.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah. With a freezer.
WEIR: A refrigerator freezer, yeah. In that way you could sell cold beer.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah, but the fish because we...
WEIR: Right. To keep the fish. See, I'm thinking about beer, you're thinking about fish.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.
WEIR: I thought a lot about fish and freezers and chicken coops on the ride home. I'm walking through the (inaudible) of Duty Free stuff at the Sydney airport, I thought a lot about what we want and what we really need. The kids back there seemed content and entertained, despite a complete lack of toys or screens and how that might change, now that they've seen my iPad. But I also remember how there were no women allowed at the (inaudible) ceremony, how ancient superstition leads to inequality in places like this and keeps kids under the volcano and going to good schools.
This place has so far to go, but you got to root that they'll get it right. Because where I come from and you find a fishing home (ph) this amazing, and keep it to yourself. But on Vanuatu, they can't wait to share, is a beautiful outlook and a beautiful place. There is hoping that somehow they can hold on to both.
This show takes on a whole new meaning after cyclone Pam. And if you can find a place in our heart to help out, please go to CNN.com/IMPACT for a list of the best organizations, bringing aid to the island.
