APIA, SAMOA \u2013 27 SEPTEMBER 2022:<\/strong> Vaimauga College celebrated the handing-over of its new hall earlier today built under the Government of Japan\u2019s continuing development assistance to Samoa.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Samoa, H.E. Mr. SENTA Keisuke represented his government at the handover ceremony attended by the Member of the Council of Deputies, Tapusatele Le Mamea Tuiletufuga Ropati Mualia and Faletua Maiava Elisa Mualia, the Acting Prime Minister, Tuala Tevaga Iosefo Ponifasio, representatives of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture and distinguished guests.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s assistance was formalized in March, with\u00a0a grant amount of USD295,229 (approximately SAT747,600) provided under its Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects (GGP) to fund the project construction of a single-storey school hall, toilets and shower facilities.<\/p>\n

As noted in many other schools the importance of having a school hall, the School Committee sought for Japan\u2019s assistance with the aim of providing safe and proper educational facilities for use by students of Vaimauga College. It has been 60 years since the school operated without a school hall.<\/p>\n

It is anticipated that the project will empower the school with the best of resources to achieve academic excellence and will greatly assist in accommodating the school activities.<\/p>\n

Support towards education has always been placed highly on Japan\u2019s priority list as we believe that\u00a0education plays an important role in developing a child\u2019s capability and also a nation\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s GGP was introduced in 1991 to respond directly to the basic human needs at the grass-roots level with 210 projects successfully completed.<\/p>\n
