Fiji Power 2015 Day 13 : 15-10-2015

I cannot believe today is the last day but yes, it is the last day in Fiji as well as with the whole team. This trip had affected every one of us a lot. Before leaving for the plane to Brisbane, our team gathered and had a time sharing about how the trip impacted us personally. We, the students needed to organise our thoughts about what we experienced on the trip. So we all had some time preparing a short talk that we could use to explain to family and friends just what we did and how we felt about our wonderful trip.  This was the first Fiji Power trip which had the purpose of installing a renewable energy source for a vaccination fridge at a medical centre, and hopefully it is the first of many more to come. After videoing our talks we finally headed to the airport to take a three hour flight to Brisbane. When we arrived, we had the last “farewell” dinner together with Jing, Coleby and their fathers. I’m Sarah writing the last day’s report and I’m going back to Tasmania tomorrow.
