First Footers (FF)= The first members of Tribewanted to step foot on the island of Vorovoro.
History
On the Old Forum, a topic was posted about "tribal firsts" - as perhaps making your own mark on Vorvoro. Maybe some sort of record book, for example, the first person to sail to the island, or the first person to catch a fish. Maybe not necessarily, the first person to do something, but the first time a person caught a fish in their life, or the first time they slept under the stars. It was started as an idea to raise money for the Dream Foundation, perhaps pay for your own entry in the tribal first book (Topic started by Translating Trixie.)
At one of the very first Tribal Gatherings, in the Crown in London, Poques and Trixie were talking about it and Poques said he would pay a large sum of money to the Dream Foundation to be the "First foot" on the island... and so the term was first used.
