Public schools in Fiji are open to expat enrollment, but are rarely used due to somewhat erratic educational standards. Furthermore, parents are often reluctant to send students to these schools as they find the curriculum one-sided and children who regularly move in and out of school systems may find the experience limited.

In many villages, there will be a small school with teachers doing their best to serve the students spread across a variety of educational levels.

This need for having project participants on either end of the medical spectrum arises due to the great extremes in hygiene and health practices. Apart from needing qu

It is also the perfect opportunity to put any skills and interests you have to use, whether you make arts and crafts, or teach games and songs to the children – your suggestions will be well received.

Bring out your carpentry skills and participate along with the local community in the construction project. In addition to the basic project, you may also take part in landscaping the surrounding area, painting local schools and renovating classrooms.

Our construction project allows them to move to new, better quality homes and for the children
