I'm going back to Fiji. There is so much going on in my head – the past, the future – I feel as though I need to concentrate on the present and then things will be clear.

I will find a place to live around Sigatoka again, engage in Aliti's life and hopefully get her into school this year. I also want to be a little more involved in the life of her sisters in the valley – they are able to go to kindy this year and I hope to facilitate this. My friends at Social Welfare have changed, but the new lady I think will be receptive to some plans.

Hopefully I will be able to be of some use in the local school – if only for help with English literacy skills.

And I will just live in the present for a while – then perhaps the past and future will take care of themselves. I'm excited about this period of retreat.
