People

Tribewanted is about people and what they can accomplish when they rally around a common goal. What is great is that those who participate can do so at their own level, whether it's full time, volunteer based, for one week or one month, and from the island, from their computer, or from a hammock on the beach.

Arriving back on Vorovoro after a six month island break has meant the last three weeks has felt like one non-stop talanoa (story telling) session.

Hearing the Fijian version of what’s been happening on Vorovoro has been fascinating and given me a greater understanding of the progress of this …

Bula sia tribe!

I can’t believe another week has gone by so fast. Today is August 2nd and Dan is now chief, doing an excellent job, and I’m left to enjoy my last few days and finish some pending projects. To continue from my last blog, the Team Fiji bure was finished last week (the roof and second layer of bamboo) and we had some grog to celebrate its completion. That same night Ben Keene told the story of Tribewanted over grog which was great to hear, with all the key players sitting around the bowl with us.

Congratulations to James Kerridge” , or Timoci (timothee) as he is known on Vorovoro, who will be taking over from Giles in September as Project Director.

With over 300 applications for the position it was always going to be a tough call. But after long discussions with Tribewanted and Fijian team and family, and with Tui Mali’s blessing, it has been unanimously agreed that Jim is the right man for the job.

Jim came to Vorovoro six months ago as a tribe member, was March Chief, and since then has been the island gapper. Jim has been a …

The Tevita Diaries (Putting Viti back into Fiji)

Mariah Boyle By Maya, California, USA Posted 04 Aug 2008

I interviewed Tevita today to reflect on this month and follow up from his last blog where he put the call out to Fiji to remember their traditional ways.

From Tevita:

Last month was a month of building relationships and as the bridge between Team Fiji and the Tribewanted members I thank the tribe for learning all of the Fijian ways and customs. After my last blog I can see that it is happening, that the tribe is learning the Fijian ways and showing others in Fiji what we have learned. When the people in the other villages …

So last week, Mariah,Amy and I went to an open community meeting in Labasa put on by the WWF and the WCS.The meeting was about Tabu (prohibited) sites designed to protect Fiji’s natural resources.

An interesting study that was shared with us showed that streams and rivers with high levels of tree density along their banks have a higher level of biodiversity and a higher number of fish all the way out to and beyond the river mouth. Many of the fish species along Fiji’s coast make use of the river systems for feeding and spawning grounds.
