Sports Development in Fiji (10km Run)
Donation protected
I'm excited to be embarking on a 1-month Sports Development Project in Fiji with Think Pacific, in partnership with the Fijian Government, the Fiji National Sports Commission, The Ministry of Sport, and National Sports Organisations. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside Fijian youth to develop sports training, structure, and coaching practices. The project aims to promote health and wellbeing throughout the community using physical activity and exercise. Think Pacific's projects support Fiji’s National Development Plan and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
To help raise funds for this important charity I will be running 10km on the 16th of March.
Think Pacific is a UK-based social enterprise and a registered Fijian charity. Its core principles include:
- Making a positive contribution to the immediate needs and holistic development targets in rural Fijian communities.
- Supporting a locally directed and sustainable model of development.
- Investing in Fiji’s youth by increasing opportunities for future generations.
- Promoting Fijian culture, customs, and traditional skills and encouraging understanding
The Impact of the project:
- Develop cross-cultural skills.
- Foster confidence, self-esteem, and life skills in young Fijian adults.
- Promote leadership among young people in rural areas.
- Address health crises in Fiji by promoting physical activity.
- Provide financial support to the local partners and the community.
- Help Fijian youth gain skills applicable to a variety of sports.
By donating, you'll be directly contributing to:
- Funding the project initiatives on the ground.
- Providing resources to support a Fijian approach to development.
- Boosting local employment opportunities.
- Supporting the Think Pacific Foundation's work with local partners and the community.
- Ensuring the sustainability of the project's aims**.
Every little helps in supporting this amazing cause and making a real difference in the lives of Fijian communities. Vinaka vakalevu (Thank you very much)!
