Further Education past high school becomes more costly and is usually too much for village families. The courses are run in Nadi or Suva both some distance from the village. However a short 6 month course can provide opportunity for a very good job.

Eg: A baking and patisserie course costs about $2500 (AU).

In 2011 we have two young adults who are undergoing a short course.

There is the opportunity to make a donation towards further education of a young adult. (This can be a small part donation or full donation)

Food Hampers

There is the opportunity to give a food hamper to an elderly person, widow or very needy. Each food hamper contains food and other essentials that last for weeks.

Cost: $30.
These include: 10kg rice, 4kg sugar, 4kg flour, packets of noodles, tea, tins of tuna, large container of breakfast biscuits, toothpaste, mosquito coil, matches, soap.

Gift for a child.

There is the opportunity to give a gift to a child in the village.An age appropriate gift will be given to the child just prior to Christmas. E.g a doll, toy car, book or soccer ball. Cost: $10.

Item of Clothing/Shoes.

There is the opportunity to make a donation towards a new item of clothing. Many of the children are in need of clothing eg. a new dress or pair of school shoes. Children have been sent home from school because their shoes were too old and worn. It is also a very thoughtful gift to give a lady a new dress (as they typically wear the Fijian style dress).
