Free! Fun! Great work with fantastic people!

Working with All Hands Volunteers I around to various villages seeing the remote areas of Fiji building toilets and showers for people in need. We worked and ate with Fijians everyday. The organization is made up of good hearted, energetic people who give their all to help people who have suffered losses from cyclone Winston. Smetimes it eas hard dirty work, but it was always fun. One day everyone - volunteers & staff- hiked off the road 45 minutes to a remote settlement carrying materials to build toilets for people who had not been reached by anyone 5 months after the cyclone hit.
The organization works closely with the government and other NGO's to assess needs and provide vital services. I felt confident the work I did had a positive impact on people who really needed support. The tears and gratitude of the people we built with and for were confirmation our efforts were worthwhile. I'm not strong or experienced with building, but I learned a lot and felt like a valuable member of the team.
