Bula Batiki

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!
