MAKING SAMOA HOME: JICA Volunteers with Acting A.C.E.O of Aid Coordination and Loan Management Division-MOF, Lita Lui.
Ten new Japanese volunteers arrived last week to commence work and to adapt to making Samoa their home over the next two years.

The group was introduced and received by government ministries and officials, as well as their respective host organisations.  

Five volunteers, or half of the new arrivals will be placed in Savaii Island to work mainly in schools such as Uesiliana, Itu-O-Tane Colleges and Salelavalu, Iva, Saleaula Primary Schools.

 Meanwhile in Upolu, the remaining new volunteers will work with Falefitu, Leulumoega, Afega, Saoluafata Primary Schools and Sagaga College.  

Most of the group will teach Maths and Science subjects which make up six volunteers posted to Primary schools, two volunteers to Secondary level, one to work in Fine Arts and one more as a PC Instructor.

Over forty years on, since 1972, Samoa received its first Japanese Volunteer as part of JICA Samoa’s Volunteer Program.

To date, Samoa has received almost six hundred volunteers (including Senior Volunteers from 40 to 69 years old) who have worked or are currently on assignment to work with various government ministries and corporations, non-government and private organisations.  

Japan continues to work alongside Samoa in terms of technical cooperation, grant aid, overseas trainings and donor funding towards sustainable projects to benefit Samoa and its people as a whole.

After completion of each volunteers’ assignment, not only do they share knowledge in their respective professional backgrounds with their local counterparts, but they also take away with them what they have learnt and experienced while living in Samoa in terms of its traditional family values and cultural morals of the Samoan people, and adopt or apply a similar lifestyle when they return back to their homeland - Japan.

There are twenty-three Japanese volunteers currently serving in Samoa.
