Pupils at the Little Flower School in Belfast, N. Ireland were keen to set up a link with other pupils of a similar age (11-13) on another island that has experienced conflict. After contacts between one of their local parishes and a parish in Fiji, the Little Flower School were put in touch with pupils at the Holy Family School in Labasa, a town on Vanua Levu, one of Fiji's bigger islands. To start the link, pupils at each school made a video to introduce themselves. Pupils now exchange letters with their own pen pals. After a fund-raising drive by the Little Flower School and three other Belfast schools, there is enough money to buy a computer and internet link for the Holy Family School in Labasa. This way, pupils can communicate electronically in the future.

Pupils in the Little Flower School often use a computer during their break times. Through letters from their pen pals, they discovered that pupils at the Holy Family School might play a game of draughts instead.

The Little Flower School have produced displays to show how their link with the Holy Family School is developing.
