Volunteer Programs in Nadi, Fiji

My trip to Fiji was an incredibly eye-opening and meaningful experience. I spent a month volunteering at a remote island primary school as well as a kindergarten on the mainland, which gave me insight into two very different educational settings. One of the highlights was building relationships with the children and becoming part of their daily routines. The students were warm, enthusiastic, and eager to learn, which made the experience very rewarding despite some of the challenges I observed. At the remote island primary school, I found the level of English comprehension quite surprising. While many students were able to speak English, they often struggled to understand sentence structure and meaning, particularly when it came to stories or more complex instructions. I also noticed differences in teaching practices, where students were often given work to complete independently with limited supervision or guidance, which was very different from what I am used to. Overall, the experience challenged my expectations and broadened my understanding of global education systems. It reinforced my interest in working with children and highlighted the importance of quality teaching, supervision, and inclusive practices in supporting all learners.

I enjoyed some of the activites , but not others. The rivre walk and the walk to the koppies was 10/10. No intrenet was challenging , so 7/10. Jane , Precious , Patrick and Lucas were 10/10. I woul recommend this project to anyone who needs a detox from Social media.
