Bula!
In July 2019, I will be travelling to Fiji to spend one month working with the charity Think Pacific. My time there will involve 3 weeks of providing teaching support in schools, extra-curricular arts activities and after-school sports coaching.
Think Pacific works alongside the Fijian government to provide children in the remotest with improved education and more opportunities that would otherwise not be possible. Since starting in 2009, Think Pacific has:
· Increased literacy levels by 40%
· Increased sports participation by over 600%
· Enabled 1000 children to receive early year’s education provision
· Provided 640000 hours of tuition delivered by volunteers
· Trained 50+ teachers annually
· Provided over 30000 children with pencils, books and stationary annually
· Increased exam results by 12% and attendance by 16% in remote schools
· Funded 61 building projects including kindergarten schools and health clinics
Unlike many other volunteer projects, when in Fiji I will be taken into a family's own home and looked after like one of their own. Alongside 19 other members of my volunteering team, I shall be fully immersed in Fijian culture, given the opportunity to take part in traditional activities and explore the beautiful land
Any donation big or small would be so greatly appreciated! I plan to cover my flights and any additional costs myself, however would be so grateful to any contributions to my project fees! Think Pacific are extremely transparent in where the money goes to and this can be seen here https://thinkpacific.com/dates-and-costs/costs-breakdown/
As part of my fundraising, I plan to run a 1/2 marathon, as well as other smaller activities.
Thank you so much in advance!
