Help me enrich the lives of Fijian families by sponsoring my 3-week volunteer project involving conservation and community restoration.
Canterbury
Kia Ora koutou!
My name is Robyn Patient, I am a student at the University of Canterbury working towards a Bachelors degree in Engineering - majoring in Forestry Science with a focus in plant biology and ecology.
I believe that we live more enriching lives when we choose to reach out and support our wider communities. As a part of the 2019 Visa volunteer group, I endeavour to improve the quality of life for many families in Fiji, as well as improving the state of Fiji's marine life.
During this project, I will be working in Nadi with children in primary schools, installing equipment, basic up-keeping tasks, renovating, restoring facilities, installing water catchments, and installing bathrooms. Also, on a one-week extension, I will be working on the conservation of turtles and coral reefs on Beachcomber Island.
This project is an amazing opportunity not only for the Fijian communities but also my personal academic career. Experiencing the Fijian culture mixed with my love for nature and plant biology is going to help me grow significantly as a person. This trip is an incredible opportunity for everyone involved that I am extremely excited for.
However, travelling does come with a hefty cost. By sponsoring even just a portion of my volunteering trip, you are directly contributing by enabling me to partake in this experience. I would be incredibly grateful if you could contribute, helping to lighten my financial burden.
The dates for this trip is from the 1st of December - 21st of December.
Nga mihi nui,
Robyn Patient
