Please help me Volunteer!

Hi everyone!     Who am I? I am a 21 year old university student studying social work. When i graduate my hope is to work with foster children and to give them a voice. I have never left Perth, Australia before as it's never been finantially viable. This oppertunity is a dream come true.        What am I doing? In January 2016, my best friend and i are going on a volunteer trip to Fiji. For the first two weeks we will be building houses, schools and toilet facilities as well as teaching English. Many children in these rural communities often get sick as a result of parasites in the water because they have no clean running water and waste disposal. When i go i will be there to build and provide these things for them. For the third week we will be involved in coral conservation. This means that we would be cleaning up coral reefs, removing debri and keeping the area beautiful!  Everything that myself and the VESA team will be doing in Fiji was chosen by the communities themselves, they told us what they wanted and needed and with help of volunteers we hope to provide as much as we can.  VESA and I will work in conjunction with the villagers and the village chief in addressing the major issues faced by the village and the local schools such as a lack of fresh running water, dilapidated schools and generally poor infrastructure. Your donation will help to facilitate the means for implementing a major community development project, which will encompass construction in addition to educating the community on matters of conservation, sustainability, health/hygiene and English proficiency. The trip is three weeks long and it will provide me with some amazing experinces and cultiural immersion.        What will your donations be covering? By sponsoring, you will be directly assisting with the costs involved in participating in the program. These costs are significant and include hiring local skilled trades people to supervise and assist in the building projects, building materials and donations to local organizations. Every volunteer will complete a minimum of 40 hours of hands on community based volunteer work.       Being able to do this trip would mean the world to me and i thank you so much in advance for your support and help :)     Emalee
