Children are the precious offspring of their parents. When we uplift our children, the melodies they can create are beautiful. Watch 8 year old Hope and her father Liuafi sing together to celebrate Samoan language week. Make it to the end to hear Hope's beautiful solo. With nurturing guidance from parents, our children will flourish.
Tune in to our Fathers Fono series - launching tomorrow across our social media platforms.

Our Pacific Culture is a unique make up of our values, beliefs and behaviours and is seen in our vibrant and colourful dances, food, languages, song, and traditional practices. Though there are hundreds of diverse Islands spanning the Pacific Ocean there are common values that tie us together like faith, love, respect, service, and family. With that in mind Pasifika Fathers are the cornerstone of family ensuring such values are reflected in their relationship with their wife/partner as well as their children. Our role as Father is to guide and protect our family through actively engaging in the lives of our children and building strong and resilient relationships with them. In this way it is hoped that challenges can be navigated and our children grow into thriving and flourishing Pasifika People.

Today's SAMOAN PROVERB OF THE DAY is "O au a matua fanau" which can translate to "Children are the precious offspring of parents."
To be precious, is to be of great value and our responsibility as parents, aiga, a community is to treat our children with care, love and devotion.
Tune into our FATHERS FONO SERIES tomorrow where Pasifika Dads will speak into this theme 🇼🇸❤️

Tufuga Ta Tatau Workshop 2019
This video is a result of an inaugural Ta Tatau Health and Safety Workshop attended by Tufuga ta tatau from both Samoa and New Zealand, held in Auckland on 25th of June 2019. This video should be watched in conjunction with Le Va’s tatau factsheet. Whilst this factsheet focusses more on health and safety practice, cultural and spiritual processes associated with customary tattooing are captured in the video.

Happy Samoan Language Week! 🇼🇸
The phrase for today is "Ou te alofa ia te oe" which simply ... means "I love you" remind your family and friends by telling them you love them in Samoan. It's the small things that count!

“A malu i fale, e malu i fafo” which can translate to “Protection for families, protection for... all”. We provide safety and protection for ourselves and others in the world - but safety, protection and healthy relationships should always start in the home. 🇼🇸❤️ #samoanlanguageweek
Happy Samoan Language Week 🇼🇸 Let's start with a basic greeting! "TAEAO MANUIA" means "GOOD ... MORNING" ☺️#samoanlanguageweek
