hehe..
FIJI is located at the SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN.
it is a home of 800,000 people and most of the population are indigenous people,
and the other half are Indians. A few percent of the poeple are Chinese and European ancestary. Project under going now is PEACE CORP project, and also began project for water supply, village sanitation, poultry and alternative food crops.
FIJI had listed in the list of the most beautiful country and has weather that rarely exceeds 90f degrees in the summer or 60f degrees in the winter. FIJI are looks like our country. The village are very calm with the traditional houses and the harmony condition. The houses have grass-thatched roofs and woven bamboo or grass walls. woven pandanas mats cover the floor. Its take place of carpet in our country but they doesn't have to make any payment. Before the European influence, the hilltop of the island provided more protection during the war. The old village was near a cave where the women and children hide during battles.
The FIJIANS children are usually very happy, socially, well-adjusted and well-behaved. They are very different in contrast with development country. They have a good behaviour althought they doesn't go to school to have a civic lessons.
It can be a rolemodel to new generations. Many parents of development country could learn valuable lessons on child-rearing from FIJIANS. They enjoy with their life and doesn't give their parent problem to take care of them. How about you??
