“We are happy to do what we can to support youth development in Samoa,” said Ambassador Brown. “The opportunity to play sports meant a lot to me as a young child – all the way through my college years, and I hope the Magiagi Primary School rugby teams have a great season.”

With the colors green, white and black and their school crest engraved on the jersey the teams were ecstatic to receive their new jerseys.   Principal Katalaina expressed her gratitude to the Embassy and to Ambassador Brown for continually assisting the school. She charged the rugby team to live up to their school motto “Lototele e Finau.”
