And discover what Ekasup Villagers value and how they preserve or prepare their food on a daily basis with no electricity. Experience also the ancient culture and customs of Melanesian with a unique insight into the village ancestor’s way of life and the traditional ways in which they use native herbs for medicine, weave mats, make hunting traps and prepare and preserve food with herbs and for roasting.
