Volunteering Projects in the Fiji Islands with Think Pacific

I volunteered in Fiji with Think Pacific for a month last year. It was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had, the whole trip was so well organised and every slight concern was dealt with so you felt completely at ease and safe throughout it all. It was amazing to see how much of an impact you can have in such a short space of time, with the Maths and English and also the PE. I enjoyed every second of it and made friends for life, in Fijians and other volunteers too. I often speak to my Fijian family, and I’ve also gone on about it all so much one of my friends is now volunteering this year too!

I went on a 1-month expedition in 2017 and it was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done but also the most rewarding, being able to learn about new cultures and live amongst true Fijian family was amazing.
The people and the support that was with me on the journey made the experience so much better.
After looking for volunteering projects for a while. Think Pacific really stood out as the one that really wanted to make a difference and you can tell by the passion of the staff drew me into wanting to volunteer with them.

I spent Summer 2016 living and volunteering in Yavu village, Batiki Island with Think Pacific. The experience was incredible from start to finish!

Prior to the project, we visited a number of beautiful resorts with our leaders which helped with team building and preparing our group for village life, from their first hand account of volunteering with Think Pacific.

Adjusting into a rural community, being adopted by a traditional family and learning the unique Fijian culture pushed me completely out of my comfort zone and this is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. I left with a completely different perspective of how we live our lives in the UK.

The teaching and sports programme provides the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children facing hardship within rural Fijian communities, which was incredibly rewarding for both ourselves and the pupils.

Vinaka vaka levu, TP/FIJI for the experience of a lifetime!

The fact that I have been to Fiji twice with Think Pacific just goes to show how much I value the organisation and the work they do in villages and schools. If anyone is thinking about it don’t sit on the fence, this is the most incredible experience not to be missed.

Aside from character building, teaching you skills in schools, leadership and team membership, Think Pacific also gives you an amazing opportunity to meet new, like-minded people.

If this sounds like something you would get involved with, don’t hestitate, chat to TP asap!

I went to Fiji five years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve done. Think Pacific is unique in that you don’t feel like a ‘voluntourist’ - you will learn and gain as much, if not more, from the village you live in as they will from the expedition.

I saw Think Pacific’s principles change communities for the better, without forcing a foreign way of thinking onto those they work with.

This really sets TP apart from the majority of organisations I’ve seen across the world.

Also - Fiji is absolute paradise. Do it!

From start to finish the expedition was full of surprises and enjoyment. Being surrounded in the Fijian cultural was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life, the hospitality and kindness shown by the Fijians was unparalleled and definitely gives you a new perspective on life. Although tough at times it is rewarded by smiles of the children you are there to help. I would recommend anyone to take an expedition to Fiji with Think Pacific, a very supportive and down to earth charity.

Think Pacific is the most incredible charity to volunteer with. I was supported massively throughout the whole project, even before I left the UK. The work they do with children in schools and the communities is incredible, you really feel like yoire making even a small difference in these kids lives. I made the best friends over in Fiji and created memories that will last a lifetime. I learnt so much about myself and the Fijian culture, this project was more than I could ever of hoped for.

An amazing experience! We were warmly welcomed and recieved guaidance throughout the whole time. Plenty of activities and games, there was not one evening with nothing to do. Teaching and lesson planning is sometimes tough but you recieve a lot of help and it's incredibly rewarding seeing the kids improve. Became an instant family member in the village and it felt like home by the second day, the kindest people I will ever have the pleasure to meet. Fun trecks during weekends. The entire trip was very well planned out and leaders are able to help with everything. I am very glad I signed up it was truly amazing.
