In June 2018, I will be undertaking a youth and sports development volunteer project to assist children in rural Fiji. Even though Fiji is a popular holiday destination, sadly enough there are extremely poor islands right on the door step to this leisure. My Project supports a small charity, Think Pacific Foundation (1162190) who work in these poor and remote villages, where over one third of children grow up in poverty and where over 200 schools were damaged during Cyclone Winston in February 2016.

During my one month project, I will be living in tough and challenging conditions with no running water or electricity, as I volunteer to inspire children, who live in these poor and hardship conditions every day of their lives. I shall also donate vital school and sports resources to make sure our good work, continues to grow long term.

Through the project my aim is to gain a deeper insight into life in the developing world and use skills gained through my education and extracurricular interests to make a personal difference to children. I hope to immerse myself into the local culture, challenge myself and contribute globally.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and any donation no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated. If people have children's clothes or stationary (books, pens) etc they will also be greatly appreciated.
