Commonwealth Youth worker award 2016

Commonwealth Youth Worker Award 2016


Youth work is something I am passionate about. 

So imagine my excitement when I was told that I am one of the four finalists in the Pacific Region for the Commonwealth Youth Worker award 2016 (theme: Sports and arts). 
You know that feeling like you are on Cloud 9! Yes, that was me. 

I love engaging in Creative Arts spaces and to be told that I am a finalist for just that was beyond what words can express. 

I am extremely thankful for the love, support and guidance I have received through my loving family and friends. They have helped me get to where I am. 


A huge vinaka vakalevu (thank you very much) for the nomination and while I didn't take home the PACIFIC region award I am sure as hell grateful to be listed as a finalist. To be able to call myself the Fiji representative and to be placed among the great youth workers in the Pacific. 


We may be a dot on the map but we strive to excel and I hope this award encourages my fellow youth workers to continue doing their best!
