A Trust Fund created to help men who have been deported to Samoa has adopted the Mapuifagalele home for the aged at Vailele near Apia.
Last week, members of Samoa Returnees Charitable Trust Fund, all deported former prisoners, returned from overseas, launched its community project at Vailele to help the Little Sisters of the Poor.
“The initiative is part and parcel to allowing our members an opportunity to give back to the community and in turn restore a good reputation and standing after they have been disgraced or neglected”, says the Trust Fund’s Executive Director Vernon Jamie McKenzine
The project is funded by NZAid which allowed the Trust to purchase of garden tools, paint, painting brushes, tool boxes, ladders, wheel barrows, trash bins, weed eaters and lawn mowers
