Able took us all through the river, show his harvest and met the horses, and cows.

Once we had explored, gone to the beach and given out some footies to the kids (shown off my footy skills), we got to paiting on our first building

At this point, only the second full day in the village, we thought we had lived a LIFETIME here.

This trip embodies the gruelling overcoming of physical and mental deterioration. 

I'm tired man

Day 3 - Thursday 7th December

We had our list of things we wanted to improve in the school and took a ride to Sigatoka to get school supplies, whiteboards and a drill to help the school

Our teachers took some time to drink tea with the locals

Day 4 - Friday 8th December 2023

Cooper's Birthday

This morning we woke on our final morning (Cooper's Birthday) we made had a breakfast and Miss Urquhart got us up really early to paint and we completed our tasks. 

Saying goodbye was incredibly difficult and so strange after only knowing people for 3 days.

We will make our way to Fiji Hideaway Resort for a rest today. 


Keep up to date via the instagram until we get some wifi again soon

Thanks
