Supporter's+Corner

If you would like to support our school back home, these are some of more immediate needs that you might want to consider:

1. Computers and the use of ICT : At present there are NO computers at the school. This is the same story for a significant number of 'out of town' schools that rely heavily on government for assistance. This is one of the goals that I have set my mind on for the next two years. I would like to see 20 computers at my primary school, connected to a printer, ready to roll! If you are able to help out, please send me an email so I can brief you on progress so far. (see home page for contacts).

2. Quality Books (reading & textbooks): Every year I send back some of the books that I collect for students and teachers to use. I try to follow that up with yearly visits to provide Professional Development for teachers, and to ensure that I do some work with students to encourage them to stay positive and to set their goals higher, but realistic!

3. Professional Development: If you are teacher, or have particular skills in Maths, English, Science, Social Studies, Thinking Skills, Sports etc (Computers at some stage), and would like to donate an hour or so of your time when you are holidaying in our country, please contact me and I would be grateful for sharing your expertise with our students and/or teachers.

4. Prayers: Our country's (Samoa) motto is: Faavae i le Atua Samoa - Samoa is founded on God. As our nation prays for peace and prosperity for the world, please pray for them as well.

5. Other Ideas: Some of you have far more brilliant ideas than mine. I have started with the most obvious needs, but the sky is the limit!
