Jone: Boys, set sa ra ga this public holiday for Fiji Day man
Joe: A very significant and momentous occasion in the journey of a young nation as it finds its way through the tumultous times of this 21st century
Jone and Jaswant: What the...?
Jaswant: Why you always va fancy?
Jone: Taki
Jaswant: No, today this Kaivalagi takis. Today, is our day Jone, it;s the day we became independent from the Kaivalagi
Jone: He's right man, today we became free
Joe: (Is thinking, didnt expect Jone and Jaswant to unite) Ummmm, but we did a lot of good things for you
Jaswant: No, today you Taki
Joe: (Getting worried) See Jone, in Australia the Indigenous people are finished, in America the same but in Fiji we protected you)
Jaswant: See Jone, the same old trick: DIVIDE AND RULE!
Joe laughs under his breath and says to himself, "they will never learn"

Hi there,
I’m an editor of an educational publication called CultureGrams, and I'm looking for someone with experience in Fiji for a paid project. I'm hoping you might be interested or that you might be able to recommend someone who is.
CultureGrams is a series of more than 200 country-specific reports that describe people's daily life and culture. The audience consists primarily of North American students and educators.
We are currently seeking someone to help us expand our preexisting Fiji report. This person would provide additional content in seven categories, writing two to three substantive paragraphs (roughly 350 words total) for each category. Contributors receive a one-time payment of $250.
No professional writing experience is required. We ask only that reviewers be current or recent residents of the country (preferably a native of the country with at least 2.5 years of full-time residency in the last 4 years), have a college degree (or equivalent education), fluently speak the country's official language or a major national language, and have had experience in more than one region of the country and with people of different socioeconomic levels.
I’d be grateful if you could let me know of anyone who might be interested in this project. Applicants should email me with a brief description of how they meet the above qualifications. More information on CultureGrams is available at www.culturegrams.com.
Thanks,
Rachel Ligairi
