CHILDRENS CORNER
Our first ECD Community Launch kicked off in Papauta yesterday 25th March!
Parents, community leaders, educators and young leaders joined us for an engaging session on Early Childhood Development. Thanks to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health for collaborating with on this very important rollout!
Samoa’s children laugh and play,
Strong in spirit every day.
Climbing trees and chasing light,
Hearts so bold, eyes shining bright.
From every fall, they rise again,
Healthy, happy—sun or rain.
