A fence for Koroinasau Primary
Donation protected
Hey all!
I've recently been volunteering for 6 months in a rural primary school along the Coral Coast, Fiji. I taught class 6, became a boarding house mother and became one of the locals amongst the villages. My time in Fiji was so enjoyable that I want to do all i can to give back to such a wonderful community.
Unlike the postcard images, the real Fiji isn't exactly picture perfect. It is a developing country and many Fijians actually live on farms in bushland rather than on the beach front. At Koroinasau Primary school, none of student's parents have jobs. Community fundraising for the schools needs isn't easily done.
I want to do a project for the school in some way that the students, their families and the overall image of the school would benefit. The current fence of the school is very run down. It is waist high and made of rotting timber and barbed wire. Kids hurt themselves on the fence all the time... Animals come into the school grounds and leave their waste everywhere and stomp all over the community vegetable garden. It isn't an ideal situation at all.
In Novemeber 2016, I will be going back to Fiji to help build a new proper chain-link fence for the school. I will be looking at raising $10,000FJD (about $7,000AUD) before then. All donors will have their name on the fence. Any amount you can give will be so so so highly appreciated. I first hand experienced the loving nature of Koroinasau Primary School. They are a very desserving community.
Vinaka vaka levu!! (thank you very much)
