The children Fagaloa Primary School will benefit from new dictionaries thanks to the Rotary Club of Apia and Samoa Stationery and Books.
Ten dictionaries at the total cost of $850 were presented to the school on Friday afternoon. American Volunteer Matthew Redman, represented Fagaloa.
“We want to thank you very much for your support,” he said. “These dictionaries will help the children in so many ways to improve their learning skills.”
The history behind the donation is admirable.
“Teaching at Fagaloa Primary School after a couple of months, the children always come and asked to use my dictionary nearly all the time,” said Mr. Redman.

“That’s how I started seeking help and I’m so grateful that I’m getting that help today. We are so blessed to receive these precious gift from S.S.A.B and Rotary. Thank you very much.”
President of Rotary; Tony Callaghan, said Rotary was pleased to be able to provide the children of Fagaloa – with assistance from S.S.A.B – materials to help with their learning.
“The donations of dictionaries are part of the Club’s ongoing programme to support schools and promote educational excellence in the local community.”
Fagaloa is a very remote area of Upolu. It is tucked away on south east of Upolu and many people in Samoa have never been there.
Mr. Redman said it’s a privilege to be able to teach there and welcomes any help others can offer.
