FAUMUI FAMILY: Tanielu I V Faumui. Ioane Helon B F. Lucas B Faumui. Taimane D B F. Rose Barros Faumui



A Samoan community social worker has emerged prominently out of the murky world of street life in Brazil’s 5th largest city of Recife with a population of 2 million.ß
Tanielu Faumui and his Brazilian wife Rose, are currently working under a pioneering project for the Youth With A Mission organization, YWAM,  to help the youth on the streets and the poor or homeless families.
The work they have been doing involves the rehabilitation for both adults and minors in the city where Faumui was elected ‘coordinator of all social works’ in 2002.
“My great joy especially is seeing one single kid come off the streets,” Faumui said in an email received by Newsline.
“The sooner we can get that done the better it is to save them from the violence and abuse by being part of a gang or group, or sadly when found dead.

Good on you Tanielu. Your work makes me humbled to be a Samoan. You have waved through places unimaginable to many of your country people. Any Samoan is proud of you and any child of God is glorifying God for your life saving service. Wishing you and your family more joy, strength and blessings for your call in life.

Samasoni Nafatali.
Thank u very much my brother and country-man.

Mo le susuga Samasoni Nafatali,
I'am much more honored now knowing that people like u do admire a minimum of care/love we do to all mankind no matter what race, poor or rich.
Even more when our nation "SAMOA" though most people never in this part of the world never heard about it, but it is still known with great acts like this.

Faafetai tele mo lau support/prayers & thoughts uso pele mai Samoa!
Great Family

Taukatea came all the way fr Am Samoa and re-do his studis with me @ Sapapalii-Savaii back in 1986 when Ywam introduced itself for the first time to WSamoa/home land. Im from Maluafou-Apia but had to go all the way to Savaii on those days to study in Ywam.
Ta'aga too was one of the staffs on those first days of Ywam WSamoa bt had to leave to Am Samoa for his duties. I later met Tupe & his wife 2yrs in Leone/Am Samoa after I entred Ywam. Plus the whole lot of other Samoan warriors like Elia, Eteuati, Ruta, Naomi, Tui & Tomasi. Some of those u met are still on the field or all over the Globe making God become real to thousands X 2 of lives and Samoa even more popular though the Press fr most of these nations hardly talk or come across them as we don't seek for human's regonitions, bt @ the end: the local people will comments about these people with huge hearts that even left everything behind for the sake of the Gospel and especially loving all mankind-poor, homless, those who most societies turn their backs from coz of some simple errors that later forced themselves into gangs on the streets to survive (which has nothing to do with making people coming in to our churches, but seeing them reconized and value by the rich, politicians and all societies) "Simply being loved and cared"
Fafetai tele lava ma le faaaloalo, si o outou uso Samoa:

Tanielu I V Faumui from Sao Paulo-Brazil.
