Yanuya island is a special place for me. Since this my second visit this year, I can see the children are growing into such brilliant and capable people. I taught them to paint, some English, a little bit of French and we played games and talked a lot. They are funny, well-mannered, smart and interesting kids that looked after me from the minute I arrived. Everyone on the island has taught me so much about the history of Fiji as we sat under the stars - always make me feel welcomed. Tima and Lemeki’s family had me for Sunday lunch which was special for me as I stayed with them last year. I was invited to a Methodist church celebration which was fascinating and moving. I got to go to cast away island and many other trips that Josh’s son took me on as that is in their generous nature. I also love the cheeky side of Fijian culture, the songs they sing always move me and saying goodbye is always hard. So we say until next time! Great people, great food and the accommodation had everything we needed. It’s the people I go back for, nothing else ! Josh is an incredible host and I have always felt safe with him and wanted. His children and wife Lotte are fantastic and they make a great team.

The volunteering trip was truly amazing and eye-opening. Getting to know the local people and their culture really made this trip so significant for me. The volunteering work with the kids was amazing. Everything was well organized and I had so much fun being there and getting to help the teacher and the class. The local team were very helpful. They provided us with all the information on the local customs and traditions as well as what to expect from the visit. The food and accommodation were also very good. I was happy that I got to experience what it's like to live in a traditional Fijian home.
