Sobo Rosi :: Fiji

Navakai Village, Fiji

“No Marika; that’s a leaf.”

With those few words I realised I’ve been away for a while. Having spent 3 months bouncing between villages in Fiji I returned in June 2011 to reconnect with the two families I stayed with, close to three years ago.

Walking up to the door, with no contact, just a hard roll up left me nervous: did they still live here? would they remember me? maybe this isn’t such a good idea? – from Janette’s smile I knew the three year absence had dissolved.
