We are delighted to launch our partnership with The Sebel Pinnacle Valley Resort! 🏔️

Sometimes the best partnerships start with a simple conversation.

While horse riding in Victoria’s High Country 🐎, our Founder and CEO, Fiona Luth, discovered that William Work, Manager of resort, is Fijian. That connection immediately resonated with her and sparked a wonderful relationship.

What makes this partnership even more special is the connection between The Sebel Pinnacle Valley Resort, , and Timbertop. It’s a trifecta of synergies and commonalities all coming together 🤝

Vinaka Vakalevu 🙏 to William Work, Nicolette Kolozsi, and Emma Todd for helping bring this partnership to life, and to the many Geelong Grammar families who support businesses that give back to the community. 📚

Together, we’re helping put more books into the hands of children across Fiji. 🇫🇯📖

This maritime school in Kadavu is home to a beautifully curated library collection with students happily enjoying their books. 📚✨

This is the third or fourth time Fiji Book Drive has donated to this school over the last 16 years, and they have recently received their latest top-up donation. 🌺

We send regular top-up donations to schools to continue refining their library collections, updating resources, and replacing old or lost books. 📖

This video is a powerful reminder of WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. 🌏💙

Every book helps create brighter futures. If you’d like to support Fiji Book Drive and help us continue making a difference, we would love to hear from you. 💌

It was a fantastic day book packing at in Truganina with students, Jonathan Twigg (whose father was Master of Corio in the 80’s and 90’s, Mr Alby Twigg), and Jill Flack. 📚👥

Together, we packed over 20,000 books for children in Fiji. A tremendous effort and an incredible achievement. 🌟

Cygnett were amazing hosts, sharing not only their space but also the wonderful culture of their company and their warm hospitality. 👏🌺

Vinaka vakalevu to all students and volunteers for their hard work, and to Cygnett for their generosity and thoughtful power bank gifts. 🎁🙏

A special thank you to Stuart Middleton and the two Pauls for their support. Across just two sessions this year, we have now packed 35,000 books, with many more to go 📚✨

If your workplace, school, or organisation would like to get involved by hosting a book packing session, we’d love to connect. 💌

Some years ago, Fiona had the unusual opportunity to speak at an Icon building site in Fiji. 🇫🇯🏗️

The connection came about through Fiona’s intern, Lily Everett, who secured a role with Visibuild through Ryan Treweek. Ryan had previously worked with Icon Construction, and after an online conversation between Fiona and Dave Wood (a construction manager for Icon), an exciting partnership began. 👥

That conversation eventually led Fiona to speaking on a construction site in Lami, Suva, in the middle of torrential rain, surrounded by muddy construction workers, in what was one of the wildest speaking environments she’s ever experienced. 🌧️💪

The partnership went on to create real impact, with Icon employees later travelling to Fiji and visiting schools in Naitasiri to support local communities and literacy initiatives. 📚❤️

Fiona has spoken everywhere from schools to Oxford University, but this experience remains one of the most memorable.

We’re always excited to connect with organisations and individuals who are passionate about corporate social responsibility and community partnerships through Fiji Book Drive. 🌺

If you’d like to collaborate, we’d love to hear from you. 🙌💌

Last week, Sam Page, Luke De La Rue, and Matt Bray attended the FLTR:ED conference at the Crowne Plaza in Nadi. 🇫🇯🌺

By all accounts, it was a huge success. What stood out most was the opportunity for so many Fijian colleagues to attend at no cost, strengthening both their professional development and connections. 💛

Fiji Book Drive was proud to partner with FLTR:ED for this event. A special shoutout to Matt Bray for his outstanding support in promoting Fiji Book Drive and helping drive a fantastic level of donations. 📚🤲

Thank you as well to the many generous doctors who contributed. Your support makes a real difference. 👏

Congratulations to Luke, Sam, and Matt on their involvement, and vinaka vakalevu to everyone who played a part. 👥🌟

This photo clearly shows why Fiji Book Drive operates. 💛 
In this image, you can see students completely engrossed in reading the beautiful literacy kits donated by Terry and Carol Hughes of Lioncrest Publishing. 📚

Captured in Nadroga Navosa Province, it warms our hearts to see children actively using and benefiting from these incredible resources. 🌏✨

Vinaka Vakalevu to Terry Herbet for facilitating this, and to Terry and Carol for your generosity. 🙏

We absolutely love seeing Fijian children engaging with and benefiting from these amazing donations. 📖💫

On Friday, we had the Fiji Book Drive Strategy Day. 📊

We had the good fortune to benefit from the skill and expertise of Mike Boyle from Strategy Shift. He is such a good-natured, humorous, and engaging facilitator. 🙌👥

It was great to have everyone gathered together to reflect on our shared Fiji Book Drive values and the direction we want to take moving forward. 📚🇫🇯

Vinaka vakalevu to Mike, Madeline Kardachi, Matthew Bray, Rosette Silva, Daniel Luth, Malcom Dow, and Samantha Cook. It was such a fulfilling and highly worthwhile day. 🌺🌟

Top-up donations for already established libraries in Kadavu are being loaded onto a truck right now and will travel by ferry to the island. 🚛⛴️

We don’t just send library collections to a school once; we provide multiple top-up donations over time. All 27 schools in Kadavu will receive these additional resources. 📚✨

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone involved, especially Lavenia Temani, our Operations Manager in Fiji. 🙏
