Hey all!
So... Fiji is extremely small and thanks to that, as American students, we get a lot of exposure. Last week I spent everyday in a youth forum designed to promote peace building for a more unified multicultural Fiji. Is was really interesting and gave me an entirely new perspective on the Fiji culture as well as a unique view of the youth. People from the Fiji Times, which is the main newspaper, came and took photos for an article they were writing about the conference and guess whose photo was put in the paper?!? If you guessed me, you're right :) GOOD JOB!
Here is the link: http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=145104
And if you think that is funny, wait until you see the actual newspaper... my photo is half of an entire page. Now I can't go anywhere without people staring at me and asking me if I'm "that girl from the paper". Going out this past weekend was made very interesting thanks to the article and the unwanted extra attention.
I thought you all might like to know. I will try and update this sooner rather than later with some cool stuff I have been doing... like I said before, because Fiji is so small and we are unique, we get a lot of exposure which has allowed us to do a lot of really cool things and I can't wait to share the long list of things with everyone!
Miss you all!!
Love. Sarah
