    Church leaders also purchased 5,000 personal care kits today to be distributed to the people of Vanuatu.

    The kits include a toothpaste tube, toothbrush, soap and other items. Many people in Vanuatu lost their personal belongings when Cyclone Pam hit the Pacific nation earlier this month.

    Latter-day Saint representatives continue to work with government agencies to bring food, water, tarpaulins and other aid to communities on Efate and the outer islands, such as Tanna.
