Beqa May 2017

I volunteered in the first Beqa Island project in May 2017. This project focussed heavily on supporting the village kindi, primary and high school as well as local kindis in other villages. It was a challenging but extremely rewarding project. The kids in the village absolutely loved the PE sessions at the end of every school day and the activities we did in the evening with family were so fun (making coconut shell bowls, basket weaving, dancing, quiz night). I made so many amazing friends and although the project was challenging (in terms of living conditions and getting used to the food) I laughed every single day. Since being at home I look upon my time in Fiji with such fond memories and still keep in touch with my Fijian family via Facebook (we called on xmas day). We provided the schools with PE and school equipment so that the things we taught them could carry on for years to come. Our leaders were great fun and so supportive as well.
I would love to go back one day.
