for the villages
Many of our guests have asked us what they could bring to give as gifts to the remote island villages we visit. The following is a short list of things that will really help.

Books, Fijians love to read, but it’s tough to get any books on the outer islands

Reading glasses, as I said, they love to read!

Clothes, all kinds of clothes, especially kids and baby clothes

Shoes, any old running shoes, sandals, cleats

Medical supplies, Neosporin, band-aids, childrens Tylenol, aspirin, cough/cold medicine

Toys, any type of toys for the kids

A picture of yourself, if you’re going to give a gift, they’d really enjoy it more if you leave a picture of yourself so they can remember you and your kind gift
