Dear Supporters,
We are so happy to have selected 3 NSP's from Fiji!
We have been working with Ratu for a few years on Caqalai to train him up to be a local fully qualified Dive Master. He has completed all of his training, and is ready for certification with PADI, this will be covered by our National Scholarship Program as well as his first year of mandatory insurance in order for him to be a fully certified dive master. Thereafter, Ratu will be able to use the Dive Masters for gainful employment and subsequent renewal of PADI membership and insurance cover.
Secondly, we have two local staff that through hard work are Dive Masters already. Anna who was previously a National Scholar who joined us as a staff member last year, after joining as a scholar and receiving additional training and certification she managed to get her Dive Masters Certificate. And Tai who has been a Dive Master with us for many years. Both Anna and Tai have paid for their own certification, but require assistance with their mandatory insurance cover in order to be employable Dive Masters for the next year.
These three local community members are perfect examples of upskilling and empowering nationals to either take on permanent roles with GVI Fiji, or to find gainful employment elsewhere!
We look forward to sharing their stories with you!
All the best,
The GVI Trust
