Bula friends,
Well I have almost been in Fiji for a month and am definitely becoming more and more comfortable with my surroundings. In saying that, this week was also a time for change...
First, the group that I got here after left which meant that there were only 14 of us left on base on friday instead of the usual 31. We had a great relaxing night and as usual I fell asleep watching a movie and eating popcorn. Despite the fact that many new friends had left the ones that were left here seemed to bond even more just through that one night.
Second, we got a whole new group of volis to replace the ones that are left. This means making new friends, giving lots of explanations, and overall just waiting for everyone to settle in and become comfortable again.
Third, I found out some exciting news. On Friday (my birthday) I am going back to the mainland to be transferred to the Dolphin Project in the Dawasamu district for 2 weeks. There I will be given much more responsibility as a Volunteer Coordinator and will be given dolphin conservation training as well. It seems like a pretty cool experience and I'm excited to get the opportunity to travel around Fiji more and also to see another prject that GVI is working on. It only happens four times every year so I feel honoured to be the one chosen to take part this round.
Other than those three points there is not much to report. People have asked me for pictures but unfortunately the laptop I have been using is smashed and the one I'm on now has a virus so I cannot post any until I replace the other laptop. But when I can, I promise I will :) For all those of you who have been emailing/messaging me I really appreciate it. It's so nice to hear about what's going on at home and know that I still have some contact with all you lovely people. I'm sorry if I don't reply that often but please just know I love and miss you all!! xoxo H
