From Sydney to the Islands: A Passion for Sport, Service, and Community

For the past 20 years, Kath and I have been heavily involved as volunteers for various sports and sporting clubs in Sydney, Australia, which is a lifelong passion. We believe our vision for sports and community work will positively impact the islands of Ovalau, Makogai, and  Moturiki.  We feel blessed to have brought our First Aid and spinal injury training, along with certification, to Fiji. 100s of community members from all 3 islands participated and received accreditation for their engagement in our workshop. Our hope in doing this work is to open up new pathways that may not have been supported before our introduction to OOCSA. We intend to work with and alongside the current community programs, volunteers, and community links, as well as government programs. Our life’s work as volunteers is to offer our time, experience, and passion for sports and volunteer work.
