Happy Tongan language week everyone.

This year’s theme is Ke Tu'uloa 'a e lea faka-Tonga 'i Aotearoa, which means Sustaining the Tonga Language in Aotearoa.

Malo Aupito.

This year’s theme for Samoan language week is sustainability.

The ula (necklace) I'm wearing around my neck symbolizes us as a people. Each of the beads represents us as an individual but when woven or stitched together it represents an aiga or family.

The secret to sustainability for our culture and language in my view is summarised by a phrase coined by Peter Apulu where he states that we are strong as an individual but we are more powerful as a collective like the Ula.

Ia manuia le alo atu i le faamanatuina o le vaiaso o le gagaga Samoa.

The team at Fletcher Steel still smiling after five weeks of Money Confidence training.

This free funded training via Auckland Unlimited’s Project Ikuna initiative facilitated by Zeducation and yours truly Fofo has provided these employees with tools to make better financial choices especially during Covid.

Feedback from one of students:
Setting my smart goal has allowed me to set aside extra money I earnt over Easter and just live on my normal wage. I had to tell my partner no Kmart shopping this week 😫.

As employer’s, what better way can we support our employees than providing them new skills and learnings to make better financial choices?
