11月17日，GDToday“丝路明粤”系列报道推出第五集《瓦努阿图：万里助梦》。GDToday联手瓦努阿图国家广播电视公司（VBTC），实地走访位于瓦努阿图首都维拉港市Agathis社区的维拉港市社区综合运动场和中国土木工程集团南太平洋有限公司，讲述运动场建设背后中方援建者、承建者和瓦方员工、社区学校师生、居民间的故事。
今年是共建“一带一路”倡议提出十周年。十年来，从“大写意”到“工笔画”，一个个惠民生的“小而美”项目在共建国家相继落地。维拉港市社区综合运动场就是一个例子。
该运动场由广东省佛山市援建，中国土木工程集团南太平洋有限公司承建，2021年9月动工，历时一年，于2022年9月完工交付。运动场交付时正值中国与瓦努阿图建交40周年暨佛山市与维拉港市结好5周年，是两市友城关系的重要见证。
据维拉北学校（Vila North School）教师Alice Noppert Mataru介绍，运动场解决了社区周边学校运动设施短缺的难题，成为学生上体育课、运动队训练和日常锻炼的主要场所。“很多学生都有一个职业运动员梦，运动场不仅给他们提供了训练场地，也为他们的未来发展提供了更多可能性。”她说。
今年是共建“一带一路”倡议提出十周年。十年来，在各方共同努力下，“一带一路”为世界开辟了一条机遇大道，国际朋友圈不断扩大。
广东是中国经济第一大省、改革开放最前沿。为真实、立体、全面讲好广东参与共建“一带一路”的故事，南方报业传媒集团旗下媒体GDToday精心策划“丝路明粤”系列报道，组织逾20人报道团队，近期分赴阿联酋、老挝、泰国、新加坡、印度尼西亚、尼日利亚、南非、希腊、斐济、瓦努阿图等10国，与这些国家主要媒体开展联合采访，面向全球推出系列多语种视频、图文报道，展现广东与十国合作项目为当地发展注入的新动能和由此建立的深厚情谊。
Guangdong on the Road | Dream helpers from thousands of miles away
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Apart from grand signature projects, "small but beautiful" sustainable projects have been bringing new impetus to reshape the lifestyle and well-being of BRI-participating countries over the past 10 years.
The Port Vila City Community Sports Complex, located in the Agathis community in Port Vila, the capital city of Vanuatu, is an example of a “small but beautiful” project. In response to the community, Foshan city of south China's Guangdong province funded the Sports Complex as an outcome of the sister-city relationship with Port Vila.
The Sports Complex was constructed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and was handed over to Port Vila City Council in 2022, which marks the 40th anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties between China and Vanuatu as well as the 5th year of the sister city relationship between Foshan and Port Vila.
In this episode, GDToday reporter, joining hands with Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation (VBTC), went to the Agathis community and the CCECC South Pacific Limited to explore what the Sports Complex means to local residents and how a Chinese company has integrated itself into the local society.
