Volunteer Programs in Rural Areas, Fiji

My volunteer trip to Fiji had a really positive impact on me, especially through the childcare and sports programs I worked in. Spending time with the kids, helping with daily activities, and supporting their learning showed me how meaningful even small acts of care can be. Coaching and playing sports with them also helped build confidence, teamwork, and genuine connections. The experience opened my eyes to the importance of community, patience, and giving back, and it’s something that will stay with me for a long time.

My previous accommodation with Projects Abroad was canceled by my institution days before I was scheduled to leave. When given the option of doing a different project, this company was incredibly flexible and was able to ensure all my needs were met to have a successful project. I truly loved my time in Arusha, Tanzania, and believe that this experience happened for a reason. I would not change it for the world!
