  • Beauty, song and the Garden of Eden in this second film in the series from Vanua Levu - a very magical and musical short about Setareki the farmer and his family at the Naqaqa farm, near Naidi Bay and at the foot of Mt. Serenitoba on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji. (Naqaqa is pronounced Nanganga.) They grow Taro, Casava, and vegetables - and they sing. Like angels.

    Isa, this touch my heart, I grew up in a the middle of nowhere as well (Lomaivuna, Naitasiri), this video reminds me back in my young days (2008) helping my parents with the farm and my parents had to go early Friday morning to get the Cassava, Dalo, Ginger etc to sell it in Suva. Back than life was hard for my parents, but the only thing that kept us strong was our FAMILY BOND!!! Now God has provided my family a really nice car, house and serving the kingdom of GOD here in Australia!! This video has really blessed me!! I’ve graduated from High school and now have a really great job, this is all because of GOD!!! Much love from Australia

    WOW!!!...Vinaka for this beautiful video of a beautiful Man and his Wonderful family! I was told a lot of indigenous Fijians are embracing a Delicious VEGAN Diet because of the health benefits but also to combat & nullify the growing obesity epidemic in the Pacific! not to mention most importantly the RAISING of ones Spiritual Vibration/Frequency/Energy!... hence the realisation that ALL Humans, ANIMALS, Trees, Forests, the Oceans, the Stars, the Sun and the Moon...We are all connected! I am convinced that Fiji has the potential to become the FIRST VEGAN Nation in the entire world...Either FIJI or ISRAEL!!! So many Fijians I know in Sydney, Paris, L.A and the bay area in California have improved their overall health and Quality of life thanks to a Yummy Plant-based Diet! WANANAVU...Love your work Gary Yost...kudos. I am a Fijian Vegan 3 years now! YOU CAN FEEL AMAZING TOO!!!
