HOPE Youth Corps Fiji 2015

Join us for the first ever HOPE Youth Corps to the beautiful country of Fiji. It consists of 110 inhabited islands with less than a million in population and is considered to be the heart and soul of the South Pacific region with the potential to have an impact well beyond it’s own shores.

Amidst the natural beauty is a largely rural population where many live in poverty with limited access to health care, education and social services.

The two-week program begins with an orientation in Nadi and then a road trip across the main island to the capital city, Suva. In Suva we will be working on a variety of service projects at St Christopher House, an orphanage. Activities will include: conducting classroom teaching with the children, painting various parts of the school, setting up a new library as well as spending play time with the children. In the evenings we will be with the church in Suva, encouraging the different ministries.  

On the second week we will move to a village outside Suva for a community service program. This will include different projects working with the locals: the construction of a play area, painting, light building work, playing and reading with the children plus immersing ourselves in the culture by living in the village. We hope you can join us and be a part of a once in a lifetime experience in Fiji!
