One village at a time, together we can...

Our mission at Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project is to help bring fresh spring water to the rual village of the Fiji Islands.

Wananavu means in Fijian, everything is good, perfect. The bottled spring water you buy in markets around the world is not the same water rural villages have access to. It's high in the mountains above them.

Dinner with Friends



The Food is Fresh and of the land...





One of my favorite photos I took while in Fiji. Her basket/backpack is made from dried coconut leaves. She uses the stick to knock the coconuts out of the trees, gathers them up in her basket then she makes the most amazing dishes adding fresh fish, pork, chicken roasted in coconut milk. We loved every bit of the tasty food in the village, I can't wait to return for more fresh fish, coal roasted pig and chickens, roots and fruits of the Island of Kadavu. Next time Heinz will be joining me, we plan to eat every meal in the village with our friends and family.


They have also invited us to stay with them in their homes.





Erica, Scott, Epi and I joined Joe, Rai family for beautiful meal, 
one fit for a king!!





This is Miri, my sons have lived with her. She watches over them like a hawk they love her and her cooking. Here she is with the chicken that took 2 American men
(Ben & Scott) to kill for dinner. They also entertained the village 
in the processas you can see on her face.


Life is good...
