Primary English Teaching in Sigatoka, Fiji

Such an amazing experience - the welcome to the village and local culture was very special. The school and teachers were incredible and what I hadn't planned for was how great it would be to meet the other volunteers - there are some inspiring people out there doing good work and it was humbling to meet them. The team was helpful and supportive and the food and accommodation fine for our needs.The local team was informative, welcoming, kind and helpful. Thank you.

It was my first volunteering experience and I had a wonderful time. Even though I was in the “Teaching” program instead of my planned “Health Education” program, it was a life-enriching experience to teach a 3rd grade class in english, math and social studies. The people in Fiji are extremely friendly and open-minded. Every day was full of good vibes and laughter. I would like to come back one day. The coordinators were lovely people and took care of everyone. I enjoyed the good food and the accomodation was sufficient. It felt like home in a big family.

It was so fulfilling to interact and connect with the youth in the villages and schools. I enjoyed teaching the children how to wash their hands and brush their teeth in the schools. The kids were so eager to learn and they couldn’t stop smiling and hugging myself and the other volunteers. It was touching to see how happy the people of Fiji are, even though they do not have a lot of money, the community is super tight and connected. The local team was extremely welcoming and friendly. It was very easy to contact them if you needed anything. Transportation always arrived on time. The food was delicious and included some traditional Fijian cuisine. The accommodation was close to nearby hotels, restaurants, shopping and beaches!
