Lending a hand in the Pacific

Supporting VSA to support volunteers.

Auckland

The Pacific has been hit hard of late. COVID, climate change and a global economic downturn. So I’ve decided it’s time for me to give up my home comforts and lend a hand in the Big Blue Continent. I’m doing on a six month volunteer stint in Suva, supporting a regional non-government organisation in terms of sustainable tourism and economic development, through VSA www.vsa.org.nz.

VSA works with the backing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, but need to fundraise at least a further 10% to enable in-country placements such as mine.

So to pay it forward I’m trying to raise $1000 for VSA to help the next volunteers.

Please help me.

(I’ll keep you posted on my time in Suva via my social media accounts)
