The summer of 2018 has been our biggest and most ambitious here at Think Pacific. 🇫🇯 🌴 🌊
Our volunteers, staff and the Foundation as a whole, achieved so much, so we wanted to take some time to show our appreciation and gratitude for everyone’s hard-work, effort and unwavering passion. 👏👏
The video below explains what the summer entailed for Think Pacific in 2018.
We had volunteer projects across 7 different provinces in Fiji, interacting and engaging with 36 communities and 61 kindergarten and school settings.
To have had 650 volunteers on the ground in Fiji, under the Foundation, is something we are immensely proud of.
To have more than $240,000 invested directly to those school and community settings and a further $1.1 million invested in the communities, in the schools, in the project delivery, and in the Fiji economy more broadly, is something we are unbelievably proud of and incredibly humbled by.
The Think Pacific May-August 2018 Youth & Sports Projects engaged over 650 volunteers to achieve specific
development aims in school settings in the Provinces of Ra, Nadroga & Navosa, Rewa, Namosi, Serua,
Lomaiviti and Kadavu, guided by our Local Partners and MOU documents.
Highlights
- 59,850 hours of volunteer support
- 6,645 children supported
