We're lucky to have these people to help us. The 58 families who make up the village of Savu are farmers. They grow green-ginger, cassava, bananas and taro. These people aren't wealthy, but the dark river soil is fertile, and produces enough fresh vegetables to feed the village and to sell what's left at Suva Markets. We've plenty to eat here.
Savu village is modest.
The wooden houses are small, one or two rooms at most. A woman uses an outdoor shower. The 'grog-house' is a large corrugated tin shed. A grass mat covers the floor. Tin cans cut in half are used as ashtrays.
