Fiji magazines

from w.
Peceli brought me four magazines from his recent trip to Fiji - Marama, Turaga, MaiLife and a new one to me entitled Juice which is not quite my cup of tea but is meant for teenagers. All magazines are colourful, informative, and worth the few dollars they cost. Marama and Turaga have real life stories and promote multi-culturalism. Their website will provide more information. MaiLIfe June issue has a lot about the soccer in South Africa and also uses stories that have previously been published in the Fiji papers (and also on this blog), but the paper is shiny, the pictures very good, the stories well-told. The cover of the most recent Marama magazine is a dancer from the Vou Dance Company who have energised traditional dance with modern concepts. Way to go!

Marama and Turaga magazines - August



from w
The gossy, colourful magazines from Suva, Marama and Turaga, are both well worth reading. I have the August editions and there are lots of stories about personalities, mainly upbeat, and some articles skirt around politics as well.
I was happy to see a story about my friend Rev Mereia, a woman who lectures these days at Davuilevu and has worked for many years in the Indian Division of the Methodist Church in Fiji. Other stories vary from bios of current leaders to stories of shoe-shine boys.
