Our main intention is to assist the distribution of Tofaeono Tanuvasa Tavale’s books and resources to the Australian Samoan community. The job at hand has been taken up by Saofaiga Bernard Tuaimau and Lalau Leo Tanoi to serve the community by providing this Tautua (service) to our people to further educate ourselves regarding Fa’aSamoa and the structured art of Lauga (Speech making)
We ourselves are keen to learn and recapture our fa’aSamoa and Oratory culture and at the same time provide this service to our people.
The next generation will have access to high grade resources by Tofaeono Tanuvasa Tavale.
