I am travelling out to Fiji again this summer as a leader of expeditions of volunteers, with Think Pacific, a small and ethical organisation who are in direct partnership with the Fijian Ministry. Their projects have a sustainable impact sending volunteers like myself, last summer, to many different villages to teach, coach sports and other extra curricular activities as well as stay with host families and learn about their culture! Rather than focusing upon just one school or one location in Fiji, it means they can inspire thousands of children annually, provide wide spread messages of education, sport and health and upskill community members to continue programmes locally. I really want to stress how i really do not wish for gifts or mindings for my birthday, but I am hoping to raise money to donate, not for my own experience, but to Think Pacific, who will suitably divide the money raised to donate to school projects, sports equipment and many other things which will be appreciated by those in Fiji less fortunate than ourselves!
