The experience of a lifetime!!

I spent one month volunteering in the Tailevu province. It was by far the most incredible, inspiring and rewarding experience of my life! I was very nervous leading up to the project but as soon as I met my team leaders and the rest of the volunteers, any sort of doubt went away instantly.
Living with a Fijian family in its most true form was undoubtedly one of the project highlights. Having the chance to live and learn a totally unique culture from the people themselves is an experience that cannot be achieved anywhere else except for Fiji. I now understand what past volunteers meant when they said your Fijian family become much more than hosts, they truly are my second family!
Having the opportunity to teach English and Maths in a local Fijian
primary school was a once in a lifetime experience. I was in my element for the whole 3 weeks!! Seeing the instant results from our hard work individually and collectively was enough to spur me on each day.
This experience has definitely made me appreciate the important things in life - family, education and friendships.
