Volunteering in Fiji
Donation protected
I'm an undergraduate student studying Physical Activity, Nutrition and Health (BSc) and I aspire to be a primary school teacher.
I have been fortunate enough to have been accepted on a volunteering project in Fiji for a month after my second year at Derby University. The project starts in June 2018 and supports a small charity, Think Pacific Foundation, who work in remote villages, where over one third of children grow up in poverty and where over 200 schools were damaged during the Cyclone Winston in February 2016.
During my project, I will experience tough and challenging conditions as I volunteer to deliver a government backed programme to inspire children living in hardship through my teaching and sports coaching. I aim to gain a deeper insight into life in the developing world and use skills gained through my education and extracurricular interests to make a personal difference to children.
To achieve my goal of volunteering and supporting the project in Fiji, I am aiming to raise £1295 towards the charity through various fundraising events that I plan on hosting between now and next June . Over one third of this funding will be used directly to support the children in Fiji by supplying resources, helping to re-build and equip schools and supporting long term educational initiatives for children and local children. I would be very grateful of any donation.
