The Most Amazing Experience of My Life

Choosing to volunteer in Fiji was the best decision I have ever made, I truly had the most incredible experience of my life.

I was apart of the Kids Camp program during the school holidays and we went to 2 different villages over the 4 weeks that I was there. I taught the 13-18 year olds and played with the younger kids during our breaks and I can honestly tell you that they are the happiest people I have ever met. Their housing and living conditions are extremely basic but I have realised that it is the social aspects of life that makes it special. Fijians are always with their friends and families communicating all day everyday, which differs from the small families and social life where I come from, this is true happiness and love.

My experience would not have been the same without the extraordinary coordinators that were more like friends and family. Everyday their loving, happy nature would put a smile on my face and they constantly welcomed every new volunteer so incredibly. The other volunteers I now consider some of my best friends and being around such like-minded individuals is so uplifting and wonderful.

Overall, teaching and learning from such inspiring kids, meeting amazing individuals and travelling the breathtakingly beautiful island all contributed to the best experience of my life.

I would highly highly recommend the Fiji program for everyone as I know for sure that no one will regret it. I miss it already so badly and I can't wait to go back and create more lifelong friendships and memories.
