Long grass and weeds need cutting back, trees trimmed and new trees planted and veggie gardens set up, lawn mowing, brush cutting and painting.
We are located on Nawai back road 30 min walk to Queens Rd and 20 min by bus to Nadi.
We live with the local community and there is a Seventh Day Adventist church near by.
