  • Talofa i nai uso ma le taumafaiga...ia e ui ua faaleaogaina atoa le pisinisi, ae o lo o i ai lava le avanoa o le tau atina`e. Ia faamanuia lava le atua mo le alalafaga atoa, faapea le malosi o le nuu, ina ia maua le malosi e toe fausia ai se nuu manuia mo le lumanai o fanau lalovaoa o tutupu ai.

  • Good news from Koroseta Legalo: they have received a lot of aid from previous guests, and are hoping to re-open Fao Fao on 11/29. Koroseta said all the fales they have built so far are filled with people already, and I have seen pictures showing the main event room has been rebuilt. The family and the business are on the rebound!

  • Thank you so much for this video of Kueva and his sister Koroseta (background). We wanted so much to see our family and the destruction in Saleapaga. It is such a shock to see Fao Fao gone completely. Thank you for the amazing work you are doing getting much needed relief right to the people who need it most. They were left with nothing and you are giving them hope. Fa'afetai tele lava. God bless.

  • Well I found out Rita and Romeo from Lalomanu and their family and animals are fine-so I am so happy that it sounds like everybody I knew survived. Still waiting news on Marilyn from Canada though (Mari). I don't know if she was still with Kueva and the family.

  • I am so happy the family are fine. I met them all in 2003. I have pictures of them but don't have them all posted online only a few. I drank kava with Kueva and Mari-is Mari still there?

  • From my contacts we have been told the FaoFao family is fine, Koleseta, Tapu and Rosa all fine.

  • Ruth Sami and Peter Thomas from NZ are thinking of you all. Our hearts are with you all.

  • I have set up a PayPal donation account specifically for the Legalo family of Saleapaga. Please contact me for more information. Thank you.

  • Thank god they are alright!!!!

  • Please tell Kueva that Manda Clair from Texas is thinking about him and please contact me if I can help him and the Legalo family!!!
