The idea that I would want to volunteer was always there from Year 12; Lattitude came to my school and did an information day when I was too young to volunteer. When I finished high school and realized I needed a break from school, Lattitude was right there as another option.
Volunteering as a teacher in Fiji
I’ve learned so much by living and working in Fiji for 11 months, the type of education I could never have hoped to have back home and it has certainly made me think much more about what’s truly important in life. You come to appreciate the importance of community and sharing and realise just how materialistic our society is back home.
