Tribewanted: Vorovoro

Why would I like to be Chief?

There’s been a bit of a joke on the island, regarding when/if I will ever leave?! I love this place and of course the people!! I’ve been on the island for the past 4 weeks and a half weeks and had one of the best experience’s of my life…but I still feel I have so much more to give and learn from this place. After lots of fun, frolics and hammock time, I feel it’s time for a new challenge and I’m keen to become even more involved in the running of the project.

Also with festive period (and my birthday, as it happens!) approaching, I can’t think of a better place/time to be chief.

What, other than my skills, makes me the right person for the job?

During my time on Vorovoro, I had a chance to develop some great friendships with both tribe members and team fiji. I am keen to use my positive, smiley energy to drive projects forward, help motivate the team and add to the festive cheer:)

What would I achieve as chief?

With the rainy season fast approaching, much to Pupu’s delight – I think the theme for December is a given – water, water, water!

That includes:

• Implementing water storage solutions
• Water-proofing, storm proofing and general maintenance on buildings
• Working on the sustainability of the gardens, so that hopefully one day the plants will start singing back to Leavi:)
• Amy’s shower mosaic project – involving the collection and categorisation of lots of shells to enable an exciting/ambitious mosaic design
• Indoor/Grand Bure activities – Time to put my arts degree to the test and get some of those artsm projects finished – In the pipeline – designing the official shop signage for the official T.W shop, also known as ‘Amy’s boutique’!
• And with a christmas slant, I think it could be quite apt to establish Santa’s Grotto on the island, maybe using one of the existing buildings. I think Pupu/Leavi would make a great Fijian Santa Claus!
  
  

As chief, I will be given a small pot of money with which to leave my legacy. How will I spend it?

It’s going to depend on November’s success with water storage – I would put high priority on supporting the water storage and then I would like to see money going to all things creative amidst the indoor rainy season projects – we really need paints, brushes etc for these activities to take place.

Projects that have been mentioned:

• Sophie’s Voro voro family tree
• Creating a green toilet cubicle – that will be full of facts and images on the walls.
• Tribe Members World Map
  
  

Tell us something interesting about yourself…

I first drove a car when I was 8 years old…one for the grog mat!

In one sentence, why should I be chief?

Scotland to be chief:)
