Have your say: Still talking rubbish:
Next week we are going to move into voting on sanitation on Vorovoro. If there are any tribe members with thoughts, experience and wisdom please do add to the debate: Sanitation debate http://community.tribewanted.com/forumcomm/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=133
John Wright has officially accepted the role of the Sanitation discussion co-ordinator and have provided some excellent thoughts on the topic. John will be heading up further discussion as we make decisions about this important aspect of vorovoro life.
Remember: Next week we go to vote so as much information as possible from Tribbies would be great.
Once again, the tribe has decided:
Poques for October Chief
Warren Wright (Poques) has been elected as October Chief which means that he will be on the Island in September and October which will give Tribewanted a good foundation for development. Poques will be reporting back to the tribe and ensuring that the tribe's voice is heard on the island.
One island image elected
Elisabeth's tribal t-shirt design was voted for as the next Tribewanted t-shirt. This design will soon go into print and will be available to buy in the 'soon to be launched' online tribal shop.
