Vanuatu newspaper written by hand

Filed under: global islands,vanuatu — admin @ 5:39 am

Vanuatu’s Pentecost Island can boast to have the only newspaper that’s written by hand.

The Pentecost Star, now eight months old, is a weekly newspaper.

It is the brainchild of Keith Hango, a former newspaper boy for the Trading Post newspaper.

The newsletter is written in English and comes out every Saturday.

Hango single-handedly writes all of the newspaper’s contents by hand.

His only tools are pen, paper, ruler and a stapler and staples all of which he buys himself.

Hango said he started the newsletter because he saw a great need to disseminate interesting, factual information to the people of Pentecost.
