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.

Changes...

Thank you to all who have worked with us... 
not only dose it taken a village, it takes the world 
to make great things happen.




As we have been working 24/7 on our nonprofit, Wananavu Kadavu we are finding just how much work it is.  I had no idea the work involved, I jumped in head first.  With the amazing knowledge and support of our Board of Directors, and Advisory Board Members we are moving forward faster then we can keep up.  We are enjoying the journey in our efforts in helping others.

We are moving forward to many years serving the Islands of Fiji, we are an international organization.  Who knows where our journey will take us, but we intend to enjoy the adventure.

We have received countless support and encouragement from around the world. What a difference it makes when we work together.


We are always updating our site and posts, check us out at:   http://wananavukadavu.org/

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way...

A Creed to Live By

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important.

Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them
life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers
by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget
not only where you've been, but also where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
each step of the way.
