Fiji School Visit

We visited a local public school close to Robinson Crusoe. Children from 3 villages nearby go to this school. They speak Fijian growing up and start learning English when they start school. The ages and grades are similar to what they are in the States but the school is so small that some rooms have two grades in them. We were able to spend time with all of the grades (1st-8th) and talk to the children. The younger ones didn't know as much English so many of them would just read us the small English books they had over and over. The older students made us promise to send them some of the photos we took. They were so beautiful and welcoming. The school has tourists visit about once a week. The money donated from the tourists goes toward the project that they have been working on for more than a year: flushing toilets.










The children sung and danced for us and had a kava ceremony. I think visiting these children was the best part of our Fiji trip. They loved having there and getting their pictures taken.
