Our Events

Each community is supported by a dedicated Community Manager and volunteer group, ensuring our programs are tailored, consistent, and meaningful.

We invite volunteers to sign up for a specific community and commit to supporting it throughout the calendar year. This focused approach allows you to build lasting relationships and make a deeper impact.

Our volunteers participate in:

• Weekly Reading Sessions
• Community Events & Outings
• Program Development Initiatives
• Data stewardship to track and improve our impact

Recent program highlights (July 2025):

• Nanuku: Weekly reading sessions continue in partnership with YWAM, with senior girls taking on leadership roles in supporting younger readers. Age-appropriate novels have been introduced for older girls alongside our foundational children’s collection.
   
• Dilkusha Home: Plans are underway to introduce a tutoring program next term, following a successful pilot at Nanuku. Data collection will be strengthened to better track attendance and literacy progress.
   
• St. Christopher Home: A new calendar of reading sessions is being rolled out, with outings like museum visits planned for later this year.
   
• Beqa Island: Fortnightly reading sessions have begun, led by local teachers and mothers. The program will be formally introduced to the Bose Va Koro in August 2025, with an official Vunilagi visit planned for September 2025.
   

Beyond the reading mat:

• We’re trialing a rotating book model with YWAM Nadi to extend our reach without overextending our collection.
   
• Fundraising is underway to improve Nanuku’s reading space — AUD $1,310 of our $5,000 target has been raised so far.
   
• Partnerships are being explored with Habitat for Humanity, Fiji Airways, and local schools to improve facilities, transport books, and expand tutoring support.
   
• Storage and book curation remain key priorities, with new solutions now in place in Nadera and plans for a senior reader novel rotation.
   

Whether you can give your time weekly, monthly, or on a project basis, your enthusiasm and commitment help us create safe, inspiring spaces where children can grow through the power of reading.
