11.01.2022 This picture-book was the product of collaboration between @twinniesbrand and Fiji Book Drive. It is set in a village in Kadavu and shows the daily life and experiences of Fijian island kids. The characters are iTaukei characters (Indigenous Fijian) and are shown to be doing activities that are Fiji specific. There are further activities in the back of the book. To help us print more books that are Fiji-specific, we’d love your help. Each book costs $16 to print and we need them done in bulk amounts. Donations can be made at https://www.fijibookdrive.org/new-index Image that of @sophierokoraite

10.01.2022 Fiona, Clementine and @tamani.lavenia on their way to Bulou Dolele Memorial School, Kadavu. The boat driver used the long pole to push the boat through the shallow water till it was deep enough to use the engine. The mangroves have a fecund smell and it feels like an Indiana Jones movie.
