I am most pleased to speak on behalf of the Samoa Government and the Ministry of Education and Culture, to convey our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the United States of America, for the endless and most valuable support provided under this programme known as ‘’Peace Corps Samoa Volunteers”.
Today, not only marks the beginning of another transformative journey for the new group of volunteers but also the continuation of an enduring partnership with the American people.
The Peace Corps volunteers programme had played a vital role right from the sixties up till now. Helped a lot with the Development of English literacy in preparing innovative techniques to ensure no students is left behind.
Samoa Primary School students had a real taste of first hand learning from native English speakers, who worked hard to instill a love of reading and writing.
The voluntary programme focus on, social and cultural values are emphasized as well as a two way cultural exchanged between Samoa and America. For the group who would be sworn in today, ‘’Congratulations’’ I could not thank you enough for your determination, unity and solidarity, in this friendship that our two Governments had shared 57 years ago.
We are proud to welcome you all in our workforce, communities and country. Looking forward for the best combinations of talents, skills, and attitude for great performances and success for schools you are working at.
God Bless,
Soifua.
