- Eliki, Jonathan, and Harley didn’t have a ride home this day so the only choice was to do what kids used to do back in the day: WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL.
Looking for fruit, playing games, with the best ending of all after a long hot walk.
This is what Fiji is like for us:) And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
One day Mafatu!!struggle is real thank you John and Eliki for the patient 🙏☝️👍.

Isa thank you so much for showing this type of family video. It reflects us back during all those years of beautiful village life. To me it's a lesson to not forget about my humble beginnings and my identity. It means so much and carries so much beautiful memories. Always love your video as it teaches much about how precious life is. Vina du vakalevu.
Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s so important to remember our roots and appreciate where we came from:) God bless
Thanks a lot Waka Family... Really Proud of You and your Wonderful Boys... They've really grown and matured...I hope to one day meet them in Seaqaqa...GB
Bring back memories of my village school days, the 1 hour walk morning and afternoon. Stopping at any fruit tree along the way. Significant learning period of the humble beginning we came from. Good luck to you Eliki, you will grow to be a strong individual.
Thank so much for the comment!
We were really hoping that this video (as raw an unedited as it was) could be a fond reminder to many people who have now grown up and moved on about where they started and came from and also something those parents could show to their kids:) much love!
No better childhood. Beautiful.
Agreed:)
Love this channel 🥰❣️
Thank you!! So glad
Isaahh remind me of the time saraga back in the Island we have to walk for 45minutes everymorning to reach school and likewise in the afternoon. This video is like little trip down memory lane for us.❤
So nice and peaceful walking home from school. Guavas and other fruits are free. Lot of ota (fern) free of charge.
Just awesome and the kids will always treasure the memories
We hope so!;)
Good times...Father and Son moment 🙏👌
I'm in tears this video reminds me of my childhood i use to walk for one hour to school through the jungle crossing the river short cut if i take the highway might take me two hours that was in the interior of Bua province the district of wainunu we always picked a lot of fruits along the way Kavika,pawpaw and sometimes we look for vara the young coconut trees or what we call it in English
Seva and Eliki is experiencing such a memorable life as a child growing up the way it should be cause here in the city Suva our kids don't experienc that anymore and how we wish it was like the old days where kids was fearless not worrying a small bruise on the leg and drinking from hosepipe our "Internet" was outside playing until we get the "Sasa broom" this was the life we all miss.
The way Seva just swinging from that tree and picked himself up again for another is just awesome and fearless of anything 👏 😀 🙌 too good God bless you all
Vinaka for sharing this part of life
Isa...😀😀 bring back alot of memories.
Watching your vlog thinking back of the time back home and during my primary school day as village boy.. now I'm in UK 🇬🇧 .. love your vlogs send my regard to your family... 😀❤
Isa, i just loved this video brings good vibes of the good old days. Many children still do these long journeys.
Enjoyed all the comments about picking guavas, mangoes and whatnot en route home from school.
But here's the full story...if you dawdled, lingered, and took your sweet little time, knowing that your chore when getting home was peeling cassava, husking or scraping coconuts, or gutting and cleaning fish, you prayed that Dad not be home.
If he were, he'd be awaiting your arrival with either his leather belt or a hibiscus branch.
great ur kids are safe in school, my kids are treated as non- Kai viti😅
Bula Re Waka Family,
I took my son back to Fiji where my Mum grew up for him to walk the red muddied track that my cousins kids still walk today to access their school.
It's an access "road" that snakes thru thick jungle with a lot of 'co gadro' - prickly weeds in open areas. It takes them about 45mins to an hour to walk to a proper gravelled road, as it depends on how muddy it is for my young relatives, to catch a bus for the rest of the journey these days. Then of course back home again after school. Unfortunately, no fruiting trees on the way as its virgin bush, but walking with them, they created their own games and sense of fun to quell the boredom and the daily repetitiveness of their journey with seemingly no complaints.
When we got back home my son never again complained about his journey to school which took him about 45mins in an air-conditioned bus then a train.
Awesome video……brings back memories of walking to and from school while picking guavas and mangoes along the way…..your kids will get the best experience of life dude….keep it up. ❤
The real Fijian style walk and pick guava❤️✌️
Yes it is. Simple but hey, that’s life
Isa, this brings me back great memories on our school days we do walk to school and it does makes us stronger , beautiful story Waka Family !
