Yes. Vilifushi has been fully rebuilt. And we are going back to our island on 15 may 2009. I am a 18 yrs boy from vilifushi
These interviews were taken in Buruni 3 or 4 months after the incident . What I would like to know if it these people, 3 or 4 years later, were allowed to return to their island. Was Vilifushi ever rebuilt?
