Childcare in Fiji Review

“The volunteering trip was truly amazing and eye-opening. Getting to know the local people and their culture really made this trip so significant for me. The volunteering work with the kids was amazing. Everything was well organized and I had so much fun being there and getting to help the teacher and the class.”

Comments on local team, food and accommodation
“The local team were very helpful. They provided us with all the information on the local customs and traditions as well as what to expect from the visit. The food and accommodation were also very good. I was happy that I got to experience what it’s like to live in a traditional Fijian home.”
