Volunteering Projects in the Fiji Islands with Think Pacific

I had the opportunity to live in Naocobau located right on the coast of Fiji, it was gorgeous. As a group no one had a single bad thing to say about the whole project and if we didn't have to go I would still be there now. TP taught me valuable skills and helped me to be comfortable in presenting, aided through the workshops we were delivering. I cannot recommend this experience enough as it was honestly the best month of my life. The people I met from the project are now lifelong friends, and even in direct contact with a lot of the friends I made form the village

My time in Fiji is one thing I will never forget!

To spend a month living in rural Fiji felt daunting, but the love that you receive from your village is the most heartwarming feeling, and this is all due to the care and support of Think Pacific.

The organisation has been great from start to finish and met every single one of my expectations. I was really careful of not being part of voluntourism but the impact the program has on the village is huge and I feel like I have been part of something amazing!

My time in Fiji with Think Pacific is undoubtedly the best thing I have ever done. The TP leaders and staff are so supportive and informative, ensuring we as volunteers make the most out of our experience. You will make amazing friends, from volunteers to villagers and will leave Fiji, not only with a better understanding of Fijian culture but also with an amazing Fijian family.

The days are planned, consisting of something new and exciting to learn. From mat weaving to learning the village meke - there is always something great to do.

The kindness and friendliness of the Fijians is unlike anything I have ever experienced and is infectious. You feel so welcomed into the village and the home you are staying in. You will leave Fiji with a strong passion for this wonderful country and TP’s initiatives.

Expect to drink lots of grog - you will learn to love it!

I cannot recommend this experience enough!

Having the opportunity to go into a Fijian village was amazing let alone meeting my own Fijian family and seeing a true insight into their everyday lives.
I met so many new people and have made friends for life!
I couldn’t recommend this project more, the think pacific team were so helpful and supportive through the entire process.
My university and many other offer funding through funds such as the Turing charity which makes a huge difference to the total price!
Whilst in the village you have the chance to go and explore, we went on morning sunset hikes, up a waterfall and played muddy rugby which was a highlight of my trip.

My time in Fiji was one of the most rewarding and special memories I have ever made. I made friends and family for life!
I was able to learn so much about the beauty of Fijian culture. I also learnt so much about life through the different perspectives of the Fijian youth! I have been able to incorporate these perspectives into my life in the UK. I would say I have definitely become a more open-minded person because of this experience.

If you have the chance to do this opportunity you really won’t regret it !!!

Volunteering this summer with Think Pacific was such a fantastic experience!

Having the opportunity to work in meaningful collaboration with the local community to build a health dispensary taught me a lot about Fijian culture and myself. Living with a Fijian family, along with another volunteer, was an absolute pleasure. They were so happy, warm, and welcoming.

It was incredible to see and experience a different way of life for a month. I would 1000% recommend getting yourself involved and over to Fiji to be a part of this wonderful program.

Words can not explain how amazing my time volunteering in Fiji with Think Pacific was. The village we stayed in was so welcoming and it was a privilege to be able to join their families. I had the best time ever and I will always be grateful I had the opportunity to experience it. I have made life long friends with other volunteers and also now have family on the other side of the world. I would recommend volunteering for Think Pacific to anyone as it was one of the best experiences of my life!

Volunteering in Fiji ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I am truly grateful I had the privilege to be a part of one of the projects. The community in the village are so welcoming, it’s almost as though you never left home in the first place. Not only will the projects provide you with invaluable skills, the memories made on these projects are unforgettable. I highly recommend the projects to anyone who has the means to partake in them and wants to learn more about themselves and other cultures.
