My project in Korolevu has been incredible. It’s been so different to anything you could ever imagine, and for that reason I’m so grateful to Think Pacific for the opportunity. Coming to Fiji has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ll cherish my experiences for the rest of my life.

Luke Baldwin, Leeds University

With five days left I am struggling to come to terms with how I am going to wake up without my little sister singing “Morning Alex, how are you?” in my ear, a song we have taught in Kindi. How am I going to cope without Kara’s infectious giggle following me around the village or Te’s killer dance moves putting the other toddlers (and TP volunteers) to shame? Most importantly how will I manage without seeing my Fijian family each day with their warmth and generosity? Fiji will definitely be seeing me again very soon!

Alex Paske, 19, Gap Year Program – Kindergarten

“Absolutely amazing experience and definitely the best 10 weeks of my life in Malake. Think Pacific are doing amazing things all over Fiji, they are friendly, organized, full of information and they think of absolutely everything, to ensure that you are prepared and love every minute of your time in Fiji. Their team leaders are unparalleled and made the experience what it was”

Courtney Griffiths, 19, Gap Year Student - September 2015

The day we had to leave the village and say goodbye was one of the hardest moments of my life. Fiji has changed me as a person, but in a way I would not have imagined last September. My message to anyone considering this is to put your soul into it. Say “yes” to things you never would have considered and see where those new experiences take you. You never know where you’ll end up at the friends you will make.

Richard Bennett, 19, Norfolk – Gap Year Student

When Harry talked to me on the phone nearly a year and a half ago he told me: “There is nothing quite like a Fijian village”. I thought this was just another typical gap year slogan, but I was more wrong than I’ve ever been in my life. There IS NOTHING like a Fijian village.
