【Fiji】 CFP song!

On February 5, CFP activity was conducted at Raunitogo Primary School which is located in Sigatoka, Nadroga-navosa, Fiji.

Students were divided into two groups and one attended tree planting activity. 33 seedlings including coconut, mahogany, lemon and so on were planted.

And another group sang a CFP song.

It is a theme song for CFP entitled  “Mori no Ibuki”  which was composed by Ms. Kazuyo Kuriya, a Japanese flutist.

The song lyrics and dance which Indonesian and Myanmar children who visited Japan as Children’s Forest Program (CFP) Goodwill Ambassadors in 2014 made were introduced to the Fijian children.

The Japanese lyrics of "Mori no Ibuki" was changed to English lyrics which is the version of Fiji by the CFP coordinators of Fiji.

At first, children were shy to sing and dance, however, they got used to the song little by little. The school teachers were also involved in the song and promised to practice singing and dancing more and more with the children.

Lyrics of "Mori no Ibuki" will be made into other countries version and shared to the world children to encourage them thinking about the forest and natural environment.
