Making a difference in Fiji

I absolutely loved my time volunteering in Fiji. Before the project the leaders made sure we knew how difficult it was going to be and tried their best to make us aware of what we were going to be facing.
Once in the village, I really felt like we were making a difference in the village and especially in the schools. Think Pacific is different to other similar charities as you stay with families and one of my favourite parts of the trip was getting to know my Fijian family, and especially seeing my nine year old Fijian sister start to trust me more and more as the trip went on.
Another favourite part of the trip was teaching in the Kindi and getting to play with the kids and helping them improve their basic English.
I’d like future participants to know that you’ll most likely be ill for the entire trip but it’s so worth it.
