Story
On 11th July until 8th August 2018, through Think Pacific I hope to travel out to Fiji to help a poverty riven community. Whilst in Fiji I will be living with a Fijian family, to really be able to understand the extent of poverty more than just if I was to be staying in a hotel.
During the days of my project I will be volunteering down at the local school, helping children ages 3-18 with simple educational skills such as the alphabet or counting to 20. These are skills that not all children at the school are able to do, due to lack of funding from the educational department in Fiji. Not only will i be able to help with education but with the money I hope to raise we will be able to take sports resources out to engage the children and teach them new skills and allow to have fun a different way than what they're used to through extra curricular activities.
The main purpose of this trip for me is to be able to make a difference, to those people who don't have the same opportunities as myself. If I am able to fund this trip to Fiji, I truly believe that I will be able to make changes to the lives of those that I am able to help, as well as myself with the life changing experiences i will have helping those children.
Donations will go towards being able to fund myself to get to and from Fiji and will contribute to a number of the expenses while I'm there such as transfers and 24/7 leadership and money for food and accommodation for the fajian family who will so kindly look after me for the month. The donations with also help fund resources/ sustainability, essentially what we're able to take with us to aid our volunteering further and also this covers a contribution to teacher training which is vital in fiji as the Government cannot cover the costs of all teacher training.
