The Christian Fellowship for Deaf (CFD)

The CFD works to encourage and bring together Deaf in Fiji. This group aims to address the challenges facing Deaf in this region. Some of the key issues facing the Deaf are: loneliness/isolation, ignorance, depression, unemployment, family breakdown and domestic violence.

Leadership

Regular Activities
The CFD runs a Suva-based youth group and Sunday School. They also work with the hearing children of Deaf parents.
On Saturday evenings the CFD youth meet at the Gospel School for Deaf for an evening together and a Bible Study.
An adult home group meets once a week. 
Twice a year there are camps to which Deaf come from all over Fiji.
A very active CFD group also operates in Lautoka under the leadership of Mesake Qionilase.
Mesake and Seriana in Lautoka, and Tuliana, in Suva, regularly welcome Deaf into their homes. 

CAMPS - Easter Camp and August Camp
These camps are growing in popularity. The most recent week-long camp, in August, at Deuba, was attended by a group from Savusavu and one from Lautoka, as well as the local group from Suva. In the mornings there were teaching sessions. In the afternoon there was sport and team-building activities. Learning, fun, fellowship, and good food filled the days.
​On the Sunday the camp finished with a baptism. Twelve were baptised.
