    Story

    This summer I will be taking part in a volunteer project with a charity called Think Pacific. While in Fiji I will be contributing to the work of the charity with the aim to alleviate poverty in poor, rural Fijian villages.

    Did you know that, more than a third of Fijian children grow up in poverty living on $1 a day and only 50% of children have access adequate sanitation and fresh water?

    Think Pacific is working to provide increased opportunities for children. Their work includes: replenishing school resources, providing teacher training and helping to rebuild essential facilities including sanitation and health services.

    So far Think Pacific have helped over 20,000 children, increasing literacy skills by 40% and training over 40 teachers a year. School attendance has also been increased by 15% so this is evidence that the project is having a positive effect on those living in very poor conditions. I am excited to go and be a part of this amazing work and help improve the lives of Fijian children in rural villages.

    While there I will be living with a family in a rural village where living conditions are very basic. During the day I will be working in a school to increase standards in education and work on a 1-2-1 basis with those children who struggle with their learning. As well, I will be giving the children the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities and sports such as arts and crafts and public speaking which they would not otherwise be able to experience.

    Any support would be greatly appreciated and help the work of Think Pacific continue in the future,

    Vinaka (Thank you in Fijian)

        What is crowdfunding?

        Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

        The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
