Lisa Nairi 's July 2009 Chief Manifesto
Bula Sia Tribe!
My name is Lisa Nairi and I am currently on Vorovoro, enjoying my 3rd visit to Tribewanted. In 2008 I visited the island twice and stayed for a total of almost 3 months, the experience changed my life and I found somewhere that I connected with.
Why would I like to be Chief?
One of the first reasons I would like to be chief is to support the island team here, especially during a time where team Fiji will be absent – away in England. Secondly I feel it is very important that we maintain the great lines of chiefdom. Having a chief here on Vorovoro greatly enhances the day-to-day experience of tribe members and provides a link to those online also.
What other than my skills makes me the right person for the job?
To date I have now had 3 ½ months experience getting to know the island and its people. I have truly fallen in love with the culture and Fijian lifestyle. As a trainee primary school teacher I also have a passion of sharing knowledge and experiences, which will help maintain the connection between on island members and online members.
What would I achieve as Chief?
In the month of July the main projects that I would like to see done will be mainly maintenance – preparing for the big third year celebration. Also, Chuck the sustainability manager has some ideas for the island and I would like to see these put into place. For example, the biogas project and the possibility of bringing a bee hive to the island to increase the productivity of plants by 25%.
Tell us something interesting about yourself?
I have quit my previous job in order to run for chief.
In one sentence why should I be chief?
I want to play a bigger role in a place that I love.

Tui Mali looked shocked & disappointed when there was no chief for Mike (May chief) to handover to… luckily we wont have that problem in July. Go Lisa! Go Hammocks!
Wow I’m impressed. Go girl. When or if you leave Vorovoro see if you can squeeze in a visit to Oz. Would love to have 1/3 of the Scottish contingent here! Good luck with the chiefdom. xx
