Auction

I was asked to donate a piece of art work to be auctioned off, the money going to a scholarship to support women that want to go into alternative careers. In Fiji that can mean going into Engineering! Still considered an alternative career option in Fiji, scary. The night went well, we got to listen to some amazing poetry, singing and enjoy some wine donated by Victoria Wines. Another interesting experience for the evening was two Fijian performers stating that they are gay! Not done here in Fiji at all!!! You can be an effeminate man that dresses like a woman in Fiji but to be a outright gay man or woman is not an occurrence that happens very often. This is actual the first time I have heard someone declare themselves gay in the South Pacific and I have lived here for 2 years! It happened the next night at the take back the night as well!
