A very special Mother's Day to every mum in our community. 💐

To the women who give so much — not just to their children, but to their parents, their siblings, their friends, and everyone lucky enough to have them in their lives.
Your sacrifices are seen. Your love is felt. And so much of what you carry, you carry quietly.

Today is yours. You deserve every bit of it.

From all the team at Taeaomanino Trust we wish you a Happy Mother's Day. 💚

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the sudden passing of our colleague and friend, Ioane Washburn.

Ioane was a genuine soul with a spirit of giving and a big heart for our community, especially for our young people. His presence, kindness, and dedication to the work we do will always be remembered and cherished.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his ‘aiga, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Ia fa‘amanuia ma fa‘amāfanafana atu le Agaga o le Atua mo lo outou ‘aiga fa‘avauvau.

We will miss you, brother!
Ia manuia lau malaga
