Fiji 2010
The Gounder's are from Fiji. They are fourth-generation migrants from India, brought to Fiji by the British to work the sugar industry as indentured laborers. They speak the Hindi language, ministering to both the Hindi and English speaking Indians. The Gounders have started four churches in their thirteen years of ministry in Fiji and are well know and greatly respected within both the church and the community.
Although Fiji is thought of as an ideal vacation destination, outside the tourist spots many people live in poverty. There is a great need for clean water on the islands, especially in the remote areas. Unsanitary water brings a wide variety of health problems. Project Compassion will provide a fully functioning clinic on Monday - Thursday, all services are open to everyone without prejudice and everything including the pharmaceuticals will be provided at no charge.
