My Travel Story

Hi guys :)

I’m just an ordinary high school student from New Zealand who would love to make a difference, no matter how small, to the lives of the children in Fiji.

Along with a small team of passionate high school students, I will take part in the Fiji Teaching Aid program organized by Frontiergap for 2 weeks!

We chose to volunteer in Fiji because of the strong ties we have with them here in New Zealand. The large Fijian community based in NZ has contributed so much to our culture and economy that we feel like it’s time to give back.

As children we’ve always wanted to lend a helping hand to developing nations, never quite knowing how. We would donate to Unicef and World Vision, sign petitions for human rights and take part in events like Live below the Line and the 40 hour famine, but we felt distant to the people we were helping.

However, through this opportunity we’ll be able to directly support the children in Fiji! We’ll be able to directly see our efforts manifest into results! To be able to go on this program truly means so much to us and we really hope for your support!

Personally I plan to raise most of the funds by myself. I’ve been saving money and fundraising but still need some assistance in covering the rest of the expenses. I would really appreciate your support, no matter how
small!

Yours Truly,

Christine
