Program Information
Come join us in Fiji this year and help to provide remote villages with access to fresh water, restore local school equipment and teach English to primary school children.
In the first week you will living in a 'homestay' in a traditional Fijian village. After being welcomed with a ceremonial bowl of Kava you will be working with the villagers constructing rain water catchment tanks so that the villagers have access to fresh, clean and running water. You will also be helping out in the local school teaching English through basic lessons and games and also restoring the school equipment and buildings. Furthermore, you will be helping to run basic workshops demonstrating proper hygiene techniques.
In the second week you will be off on an incredible tropical island hopping adventure! Imagine sailing to your own private island to relax in a hammock on the beach or to be as active as you want! Swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, volleyball, fishing and more! All you have to worry about is catching the boat to the next island and the next little piece of paradise in the South Pacific.....
A Volunteer Eco Students Abroad program allows you the opportunity to make a difference and enjoy incredible moments in some of the most beautiful and remote parts of the world.
