Hi everyone.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I joined yesterday after hearing about the tribe on the radio (I don’t have tv, so I am a bit behind). I think this project is both fascinating and inspiring and I hope it continues to have a positive affect on everyone involved.

I am not sure yet how I might be able to contribute or what skills I might have to offer, but I would love to come to VoroVoro this year. Its just a matter of saving some money. Could anyone tell me, roughly, how much I would need to save?

I look forward to being involved.

Bula Elizabeth – welcome to the tribe. The only thing you need to contribute is enthusiasm.
As to the cost – the expensive bit is the flight over. The cheapest will be about £800-900 – try Air New Zealand as a good starting point. Then you need to get from Nadi (where you fly in to) to Labasa which if I remember right is about £30-£40. You will need to buy some kava for your welcome ceremony (about £10) and a sulu (dead cheap, a couple of quid). When you’re on the island you can spend as much or as little as you choose – absolutely nothing if you want, but you’ll probably want to pay for a couple of boat trips (about £3 each?), buy stuff in Labasa (alcohol, maybe water, sweets, some souvenirs) and maybe get yourself a customised sulu from one of the Mali tribe (about £5, I think). Hope this helps.

Thank you Robert for the welcome and the information. I am going to mull it over for a few days and hopefully upgrade my membership so that I can get more involved. The more I think about, the more excited I am about this.

Glad you are able to join us, Elizabeth! If you can come there will be tons of people at both of the next getherings for episodes 4 and 5 and you could gain some firsthand insight and we would love to answer your questions. Hopefully see you there!

I’d love to come to the London gathering on Monday. I’m suffering a little ill health but I’ll try my best to make it. It would be great to meet fellow tribe members in person.
