Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 14, 2020, the Chinese Embassy in Samoa donated sewing machines and agricultural tools to Vailima, a village four miles south of Apia, the capital of Samoa. The donations are valued at about WST 50,000. A handover ceremony took place for this donation at the Vailima Primary School Hall. Local Minister of Works Transport and Infrastructure, Papali’i Niko Lee Hang, and Vailima Paramount Chief, So'oialo Lemigao So'oialo, attended the ceremony. During the ceremony, So'oialo stated that the donated goods will be stored at the home of the local MP and villagers will be able to check out the goods after paying a small fee.
