In the Pacific Island of Fiji, a new sport programme enables both male and female school teachers to receive training as coaches. Rugby, which is often considered a male sport, is creating more opportunities for men and women in Fiji. For Kitiana Kaitu, a primary school teacher from Nasinu, Fiji, it was an honour to become a rugby coach. She has recently qualified as a coach and life skills trainer for this sport programme.
