Things in the tribewanted world are continually busy, busy, busy. We are bringing you the latest:
USA Today
America's leading USA Today Newspaper sent a journalist to Vorovoro for the 1st of September launch celebrations. The Newspaper went out on the 15th of September with a stunning article, incredible pictures and awesome video.
Take a look:

Pictures: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/gallery/tr090615_fiji/flash.htm
Video: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/graphics/vorovoro/flash.htm
The video footage is literally incredible. A number of tribe members are forwarding these links to friends, relatives and those who are nearly tipped over the tribewanted edge - the feedback being 'I never realised that this would be so good'. We would like to encourage you to forward this message on to others.

Hitting the 1000 mark
We have 42 tribal places to sell until we reach the 1000 mark. It is tribewanted HQ's hope that we will reach the 1000 mark by the end of the week - wouldnt that be fantastic?
We are asking people to help out, to tell friends, students, family members, forwarding the USA Today links and generally working together to reach a tribewanted personal goal to hit the 1000 mark before the end of the week.
It would be amazing to hit the 4 figure numbers!

Tribewanted as a Christmas Gift
Do you have a friend of family member who seems to have everything? You get to Christmas and it's a case of, 'what do I get them? They are so hard to buy for!' I am sure that we all experience this situation during the festive present buying season. Well, the chances are that your hard-to-buy-a-present-for friend or relative is NOT a member of a Fijian Tribe! So, how about you ensure that they are!
Think about buying a tribal membership for a friend or relative for Christmas and amaze them by turning their festive season - tribal!
Buy tribal membership as a Christmas present now http://www.tribewanted.com/join-the-tribe.htm
(And if 42 people buy these presents this week, we hit 1000 tribal members!)
Tribal discussion:
We have some discussion that we would like to generate. After discussion we will then lead on to voting:
A jetty

Announcement: Children are now accepted as tribe members
After online discussion and e-mails from tribe members we have been informed of how Children, who will be visiting the island with their parents would like to become tribe members. We have made a decision to allow Children to become tribe members which will mean that they will recieve the following:
1) A tribe number 2) A Tribal pack (including a tribal passport, tribal pendent, certificate)
In the future we are looking to develop a children's forum that can be accessed under parental supervision and we are also exploring ways for tribe members to set up a penpal system with other tribe members around the world allowing junior tribe members to learn about different cultures around the world.
If you would like your Child to become a Junior tribe member you will be requied to pay half of the amount your own membership:
If you are a Nomad, Children will be: £60 / $150 AUS / $115 USA / 90 Euros
If you are Hunter, Children will be: £120 / $ 300 AUS / $ 230 USA / 180 Euros
If your a Warrior, Children will be: £180 / $450 AUS / $345 USA / 270 Euros
This price is per child.
To ensure that your Child becomes a junior tribe member please e-mail your payment via paypal to island@tribewanted.com ensuring that you tell us the name of each child.
Please note that we class children as being under the age of 18.
We are excited about this development and believe that is will really enable children to experience this adventure and have something to cherish to say that they were apart of tribewanted.
That's all for this week folks, until next time,
Vinaka,
Tribewanted HQ
