Teaching in Fiji Islands

I wanted to say a big thank you to you both for all the organizing you did to ensure that I enjoyed my time volunteering in Fiji.

Sadly I’ve been back at work this week and it really makes you miss living so relaxed on Fiji time. Melbourne’s weather is definitely no match as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the island school and this is thanks to in particular my beautiful host family, but also the wonderful, hard working teachers at the school and the entire village community there.

Once again thank you to you both for all the work you did in making me feel comfortable and supported if there was ever anything I needed. There wasn’t one volunteer that I met that wasn’t enjoying their time on the Island, so it’s a real testament to the great program that you are running. I hope I am able to make a return in the near future.

Kind regards,

Remote Island Construction

I had an amazing experience in Fiji!

Highlights:

-living with my host family, it was an amazing experience

-the island!, it was such a cool experience and the views were amazing

-being able to make a difference in the village

Team,food, accomodation:

-as for the team who helped me through the application process, they were amazing, and really helpful with answering all my questions. The welcome pack was really thorough and helpful.

-the team in Fiji was excellent too being more than helpful with any purchases I needed to make and taking me different places.

-The food never stopped! And I’m not complaigning! It was really cool eating what they eat so I was really happy with the food.

-as for accomodation it was exactly as i expected from the welcome pack so it was great, I knew it wasn’t going to be 5 star going in haha but that’s all part of the experience so I loved it.

My host family and his family were very accomodating and kind.

Thanks heaps for your program, I really enjoyed that it actually helped the people unlike some other organisations.

Kind regards,

Jayden

What would you improve about this program?
Everything was really good. I outlined in my application exactly what I wanted to help with and that’s what happened. I noticed from Shane (volunteered in my last week) that he was expecting teaching the whole time so he was a bit surprised with maintenance tasks so perhaps having a little bit more info on what would be expected of those volunteers who come thinking “just to teach”. But that didn’t affect me, I was 100% satisfied.
