Furniture for Schools in Vava'u - Pangiamotu GPS

Young Men from Neiafu Stake unpacked the containers, loaded onto 3 big trucks, and delivered them to the Fangatonga and Pangiamotu GPS schools. They were all stacked nicely for the beginning of the handover ceremony.















Chairs to the right were replaced with the Furniture for Schools.






Classrooms were emptied of the old desks and chairs. The walls were freshened and had new teaching aids hung. The PTA put in new tile.







Minister of Health Honorable Dr Saia Piukala told the students that he had gone to school here in Pangiamotu. He became a surgeon, then a member of parliament. He encouraged them to study hard and learn. He told them they can become what they want. He told them don't let anyone tell you you can't.

Minister Piukala thanked LDS Charities, stating that a clean environment and nice chairs and desks encourage better learning. The students will be more willing to learn. They will succeed.


 Let the party begin! 


         
The students danced for us. Then the teachers, members of PTA, and town officer.

The community really showed their appreciation for the donated furniture.

  1. It is wonderful to read about how LDS charities is helping young children have improved schools. I hope Dr Saia Piukala's comments to the children about being able to achieve their dreams got through to some of the young people who have a desire to improve their lives. Thanks for sharing.
