Intern Accepted

We are proud to announce that Alexander Kempny will join VEPA as an intern for 3 months this March. Alexander is studying Green Business Management at the University Business and Information Technology School in Iserlohn, Germany, and he hopes to work with VEPA on everything from coral reef and mangrove protection to problems with waste disposal. Specifically he is concerned that Tonga has no functioning recycling system and groundwater contamination has resulted from unhygienic waste disposal in inadequate facilities. We think Alexander will bring a unique set of skills to our organization and we look forward to having him as a part of our team.

VEPA is Incorporated

We are very excited to announce that VEPA has become an Incorporated Society and we have received official status with the Tongan government.  Our Constitution was accepted by Parliament, and as of Jan.6th 2010, we have been registered as society No.250 in the Kingdom of Tonga. We look forward to continuing our successful work this year and building our organization in the years to come.
