Malu afiafi o le aso
Le maua se to’a i lo’u loto
E o’ona tuitui le alofa
Pe a misia ita i lenei ola
E maniti o’u tino
I le lagona
Mafua aisea o lenei fefe
Manatua le oti o le uo pele
Ae ona o le tuinanau o’u mata
Fa’amalie o’u faalogoaga
Ua e ma’ona i agasala
Afio maia nei
E salamo
Le toe tagata tuai
Ia fou
E te saga Saulo ea ole a
Ae ia Paulo foi i le Atua
Amuia se tagata fa’apena
Mafua aisea o lenei fefe
Manatua le oti o le uo pele
Ae ona o le tuinanau o’u mata
Fa’amalie o’u faalogoaga
Ua e ma’ona i agasala
Post by Mrs. Becerra - sharing the wisdom.
“Ok, I know this is a serious situation on Samoa and I can already see the “Let’s do something” calls by those of us abroad.
Wonderful thought but before you clear out your cupboard of old blankets and dash off to the warehouse to buy a pack of bottled water, sit down and read this:
Wait. Think. Before you do something.
Do NOT send goods. Do NOT send canned anything. Do not send anything unless it’s money, or something that is specifically requested and you can ensure it reaches the requestor without them paying the price fir it.
Do not hop on the plane to go help unless it’s your family.
Wait for the Samoan Government who will assess and establish what help is needed.
We see enough Good Samaritan who land at disaster zones who end up being a burden.
Stay home. Let Samoa help themselves or ask fir help first.
Your genuine willingness to help by giving goods ends up being the burden for others, or your goods end up rotting at the wharf or worse, more rubbish they didn’t need in the first place.
So,
- check out what Red Cross are doing. Help them so they can help those in need. You can also transfer direct to Red Cross.
- Be wary of politicians /community leaders - they have agendas, if you want to help a family back home, send direct to them.”
If you can’t speak Samoan, are you really Samoan?
This. This is a question I’ve come across a few times.
The answer in my opinion is no.
Missing an aspect shouldn’t mean you’re not of a culture.
It just means you’re missing a piece that you can find and learn .
Those are some really nice looking Ie Faitaga Thanks Eveni for some quality clothing. The models are aiteeee .
Aso Gafua
“Monday”.
Pisi gei aso gafua, ae faafetai mo le aso malolo taeao.
“This Monday was busy, but thankful for the day off tomorrow”.
Rough translation of how my day went lol.
