The United States Peace Corp in Samoa received a donation of 500 dictionaries from the Apia Rotary Club, as well as the New Zealand-based Riccarton and Ashburton Rotary Clubs.
The clubs have also donated 500 books to Salelavalu Primary School, along with four laptops.
The dictionaries donated to the U.S. Peace Corp will be distributed to schools across Samoa.
Salelavalu Primary School Principal, Motiana Tofilau Latu, received the books and laptops with gratitude. “I am so thankful for the donation from the Rotary Club. It’s very important because now we have resources for the kids.
“When they use these books every day it will improve their reading and knowledge,” she said.
Apia Rotary Club President, Tony Callaghan, was grateful for the assistance he received from the Ashburton and Riccarton Rotary Clubs, which made the book donation possible.
“The Rotary Club of Apia is grateful for Walter and Heather, who have been long-standing supporters over six years, representing their club, Ashburton Rotary.”
He thanked members of the Riccarton Rotary Club too, for their contribution to the local rotary club and “to the community and children of Samoa”.
The Apia Rotary Club is a non-profit organisation of volunteers, established to provide community support through health, education, sanitation and literacy.
