Podcasts from the heart of Vorovoro
The team over in Fiji have been putting together some excellent podcasts to inform us of all developments and updates on the island. Here is the latest:
Dan, Becky and the children of Mali http://community.tribewanted.com/downloads/global/Podcasts/School.mp3
This podcast really captures the beauty of the children of Mali, hear them singing and hear a presentation of books that we have given to the children as it has been requested that tribe members bring a book each, as a gift, to help build the children's library.
An interview with Maleli Naiova - tribewanted's environmental consultant http://community.tribewanted.com/downloads/global/Podcasts/Interview%20with%20Maleli%20Naiova.mp3
We have recently had Maleli Naiova - tribewanted's environmental consultant on the island conducting the Environmental Impact Assessment on vorovoro. We managed to grab an interview with him in order to keep you updated.

Tribe members news:
Tribe members around the world:
A great sense of community has developed amongst tribe members from around the world with tribal gatherings taking place and now tribe members are planning Christmas Gatherings, New Year Gatherings and more - for further information on tribal gatherings in your area please e-mail the admin at tribewanted.com
Tribal developments:
Tribewanted is a unique concept that brings people together online in order to develop a 200 acre island in Fiji, positively impacting the environment, culture and people of Fiji and Mali. Tribe members are coming up with unique and exciting ideas that would enable this positive development, one recent suggestion includes a 'penpal' scheme between children who will be visiting the island and the children of Mali. This is an exciting idea that would really enable children to understand worlds that are bigger and different than their own.
And finally, the people of Fiji are continually getting excited about tribewanted, the benefits that this will bring to their people and the raising of the profile of their unique culture around the world. We were excited to see that the Prime Minster of Fiji even spoke about tribewanted on Fiji TV.
