I used to feel indifferent towards the poor and needy few years ago. Even though I was born and lived in Honduras, a third world country very similar to Fiji, I got used to facing poor people every day. I had no contact with them. There, I learned to love and care for those whom I used to ignore in the past. Just holding their hands makes them feel accepted and wanted. I’ve also learned to be more considerate towards others.

My visit to Narere, an Indian settlement in Suva, Fiji, was truly rewarding. I really enjoyed listening and sharing our personal stories with the people in the community, and to understand each other more. What we did together was very simple, yet it was very satisfying. I found that even though we may live in different conditions and come from different backgrounds, we are really not that different at all. We still need the same things: love, joy, and peace.

When I went to Narere, an Indian settlement in Suva, Fiji, I saw the needs of the people. Their living standards and the quality of their education were quite low. But I can see that their greatest need in their hearts was love. Some of the girls I met told me stories about their broken families and their encounters with evil spirits.
