Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa!

“Taofi mau i au measina: Hold fast to your treasures” is the 2014 theme for Samoan Language Week. It’s a time to celebrate the rich texture of the Samoan language, Gagana Samoa, and culture through events and celebrations happening throughout the country. The Samoan language is one of the most commonly spoken languages in New Zealand.

What are your treasures?
