Fiji 2017

On the 7th of July, I will be going to Fiji for a month to volunteer with ThinkPacific. ThinkPacific is not a big organisation but it does help create just the right amount change in the world. 

There is not a lot is known about Fiji, apart from its rich culture and incredible landscape. People don’t bother to look at the negative side of things. This is a huge contributor as to why I chose to volunteer in Fiji. People will travel to countries like Fiji for luxury, as they are often oblivious of the misfortunes within the country. They are unaware of the fact that: 

• Over a third of children in Fiji grow up in poverty, living on less than a dollar a day 
• Only 50% of children have access to a safe drinking water and proper sanitation 
• Just 5% of children gain early years education

30% of the money donated will go towards ThinkPacific, and to providing long-term support for the schools and communities in Fiji. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for my team and I, and unrivaled experience. Your contribution will account to so much. It may seem like a small thing to you, which you think will go unnoticed, but it won’t feel like that to the Fijian community. They will benefit from your generous donations.

I

i have what i want
i will get what i desire 
but i will never be content with the life
i live now 

i believe that there is a lot more 
out there
that there is a lot more
for me to do

i have what i wanted 
but i know that i will get too greedy 
and lose it
but in the time that i attain it
i will remember to be grateful

This Modern Love

Being at university has not left me a lot of time to read. Or a lot of time to enjoy the things I used to enjoy and yes, it is a sad acceptance.  However, in the time that I have been able to steal for myself, I finally got to purchase this incredible book called This Modern Love by Will Darbyshire. 

Will Darbyshire is YouTuber but he's not like every YouTuber. Compared to other YouTubers', in my opinion, he's the kind that some wouldn't pay attention to twice but they'd be wrong to do so. Will's book was like no other. It was an amazing and careful craft piece of art that I have grown increasingly fond of. 

Nursed from a heartbreak. This Modern Love is a series of letters by real people for real people. Like every story, there is a beginning, middle and end depicting the evolving of relationship, whether they be platonic or romantic - this book explores them all. It's a voice to all those introverts that feel like they will never get a word in and friend to those extroverts, that feel deserted after saying everything. 

I believe that This Modern Love was a spectacular creation. It deserves every opportunity at life, it can get.
