Project narrative

On January 16th, 2016, a fire burned down the Savalalo Flea Market in Apia, Samoa. Afterward, the Chinese Embassy provided assistance for the reconstruction of the handicraft market. Furthermore, the tents and materials provided by the Chinese government for the 2014 SIDS Conference (Record ID#64875) were used as emergency supplies after the fire. On January 27th, 2016, the Samoan government held a re-opening ceremony for the rebuilt Savalalo Market. On March 17th, 2016, the Chinese Ambassador to Samoa, Wang Xuefeng, attended the donation event for the Savalalo Market with hundreds of other people including merchants and local media.
