One love. This is the organisation that I am praying I can be a part of that is being established by a man I have previously mentioned called Chris.
On Monday Evening ( Tonga's Tuesday morning) I was lucky enough to be able to skype Sam and Chris again. First of all... I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I can't get over how cool it is that I can still hear and see them even though they are so far away. If I was to put my finger on a globe and poke England, Tonga is literally on the opposite side.
So... What did we speak about? Well we spoke largely about the camp. However we also spoke about Sam, and Chris and family's trip to the USA at the end of this month. I'm so glad they all get this time to go visit family, earn money and have a nice time as they all thoroughly deserve it. Although I do not know Chris or Ashley (Chris' Wife) very well I can already see they are amazing people with kind hearts and deserve a break!
Chris also spoke to me about his visual ideas for the camp and they sound incredible and super creative. Think... Individual huts to represent the person living in them, a museum, gardens and a kitchen.
Although at the moment it's all only being spoken about I have faith that's it's all going to work out and at the moment it seems like it is all going to plan. I think Chris has spoken to Nobels in Tonga and very important people in Fiji and will hopefully get the land needed to begin One Love.
Excited is an understatement. I am buzzing to get out there and help in any way I can.. Building.. Any physical work.. ( however I may have to work on my tiny muscles prior to this haha! ) teaching and absoloutely anything I can do to help.
I also recieved another letter from Sam explaining more about the camp which carried on from the previous one he sent. It was so exciting to see the envelope and open it up! He is also teaching me bits of Tongan which will be really useful!
Tongan stamps from Sam's letter ^
However, I am still desperately trying to find more ways to make money to fund my ticket etc. So if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated!
Hoping that my dad will be able to send a few bikes out there also which would be awesome to have at the camp. But as I say at the moment everything is still ideas. However it's all coming together which is pretty sweet!
As for Australia, I'm hoping to get a job out there as soon as I can, so again if anyone could help me with that that'd be awesome but I will keep looking! Thinking perhaps bar or cafe work would be good to meet new people!
Can't wait to see my aussie family again too, I miss them loads!
Will have a new update very soon!
To be continued!
