Many of our guests have asked us what they could bring to give as gifts to the remote island villages we visit. The following is a short list of things that will really help.

• Books, Fijians love to read, but it’s tough to get any books on the outer islands
• Reading glasses, as I said, they love to read!
• Clothes, all kinds of clothes, especially kids and baby clothes
• Shoes, any old running shoes, sandals, cleats
• Medical supplies, Neosporin, band-aids, childrens Tylenol, aspirin, cough/cold medicine
• Toys, any type of toys for the kids
• A picture of yourself, if you’re going to give a gift, they’d really enjoy it more if you leave a picture of yourself so they can remember you and your kind gift

Many of our guests try to keep luggage to a minimum, so we are proud to offer a service where we will shop locally and build a “loloma bag” full of gifts and useful supplies, that you can deliver to the villages during your trip.

Just tell us what denomination you would like to spend (USD $50, $75, $100, $200) and we will invoice you, shop, and prepare all of the items in a bag, waiting for you on arrival. It’s an easy and convenient way to make a difference, without lugging extra bags through airports.
