    To everyone who supported me:

    A HUGE THANK YOU once again!

    I have just returned from an extremely eye-opening and inspiring two weeks in Fiji and have many stories to share about my time there. Unfortunately there isn't enough room here to write down everything I would like to, but the very least I could do is to share with you where your donations went:

    The village we "sponsored" this year was Matacaucau, about 1.5 hours drive out of Suva. We were able to fund two water tanks for the village, as well as conduct basic health screening for blood pressure and diabetes, health education surrounding common health conditions and infectious diseases, fluoride treatment for teeth, dental extractions/fillings and checkups and provide toothpaste and brushes to villagers. As the water tanks were cheaper than expected, we will be using leftover funds in the Fiji Village Project bank account to purchase medical items and help fund next year's project.

    Unfortunately I was only allowed to choose one photo to attach, so here is one with all the students and the chief of Matacaucau in front of one of the water tanks outside the community hall - see if you can spot me haha!

    Thank you to all of you once again for supporting the Project - we couldn't have done it without you!!

    Vinaka Vakalevu,

    Clair

  • YAY WE DID IT!!

      23 December 2019

    Hey guys!

    We held a community sausage sizzle yesterday and managed to raise an extra $275-ish, which means we've reached the $750 which needed to be raised for the Fijian village we're going to!! :) YAY!

    However, any extra donations would still be greatly appreciated as I am still needing to fund my flights/visa/accomodation costs which have added up to more than $1400 (which is additional to the $750 we need to fundraise)!

    But once again, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for supporting this cause - I'm really looking forward to going, and you guys have all helped make it possible!

    Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year!!

    Clair

    Hey guys!!

    I've been super blessed to have received a substantial amount of donations outside of Give-A-Little, which means that at the moment, we're just over $100 from our goal!!! Which is awesome!!! :) Thanks so much for your support, and let's hope we'll get to $750 by Christmas! :D

    Hope you all have an awesome break over Christmas/New Year's!
