I am reading and learning everything I can about Samoan life here in the US.Mrs. Patu's wonderful article and involvement with the Samoan youth in Seattle is amazing and inspiring. All of our young people need such an advocate. Thank you! - Nancy Peterson Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:41:04 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1145&Itemid=59#pc_1407 Faafetai tautua Mrs Patu! Faafetai le saili malo. Your work touches the heart and strengthens the bones and marrow of those who read of your hearty contribution to the life of our young people being caught up in the chaos of worldy life. Keep on the good work and may the good Lord continue to bless your work and the work of those who equally risk their lives in educating and rehabilitating young people of all cultures for a bright future of societies. - Samasoni Nafatali Sat, 17 May 2008 23:42:19 +0100 http://www.samoalivenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1145&Itemid=59#pc_1403 I commend Mrs. Patu, students, and community members for helping our Samoan students succeed in the mainstream culture. It is a tough task but one that must be done if we wish for our Samoan students to be successful in the education system in the US, New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. I would love to pay a visit to the Samoan community in Seattle, WA to celebrate their success. Keep up the good work Mrs. Patu. I'm proud of your accomplishments as an educator.
