Understanding Vanuatu! (or at least trying to) part1

According to Wikipedia there are 6 provinces in Vanuatu. The trade language is Bislama though there are over 100 languages spoken. Total land mass is 12,189 with the population being recorded in 2009 census being 234.023. The population could be grossly wrong due to the tracking methods of births and deaths.

See chart below

According to a volunteer currently health volunteers serve in the following provinces, Tafea, Shefa, Penama, and Malampa (don't quote me on this one)

Now to just try and wrap my mind around where the people of G26 are located.
FYI Peace Corps Volunteers are organized into invited groups. My Group is G27. Since the normal service is 27months G26 volunteers will be about half way through their service upon our arrival. They will actually take part in training us upon our arrival.

Well I will share more as I know more.
