O LAU GAGANA, O LAU FA'ASINOMAGA

Your Language, is Your Identity.

Language is a fundamental aspect of cultural identity. It is through our language that we transmit and express our culture and it's values. 

It is easy to give up on your language. The actual task is to revive and preserve it. Culture is a house. Language is the key to the front door: to all the rooms inside. Without language, we end up wayward, without a proper home or a legitimate identity.

LAU GAGANA

Our goal is to preserve and maintain the Samoan language to non-speakers and speakers alike. The focus is our youth and young adults as many that are born and raised away from Samoa have very little understanding of the language.
