How You Can Help

Of course, making a donation is the easiest way to help meet our goals for the Lalomanu Primary School, but there are many other actions you can take that are beneficial. You can think of these as falling into two areas: donate things and donate your time.

Non-monetary donations

Several artists have offered to donate some of their works to the Foundation. These will be auctioned to raise funds for items in our list of goals. If you are not an artist, then you can take useful small items with you if you visit Sāmoa. A partial list includes pens, pencils, art supplies, exercise books, first aid kits, and sports equipment.

Donating your time

One very helpful thing is posting about us on your social media platforms. The more people who can reach and read our website, the potential donors we will reach. Another thing that helps is linking to us from your personal or business website. Many small businesses like to highlight their involvement with charitable causes and have a webpage for this information. Finally, if you are a teacher (active or retired) or have worked with kids through groups like the Scouts or sports leagues, take your next vacation to Sāmoa and spend a day at the school as a volunteer. Sadly, the school no longer has a Peace Corps volunteer.

Another interesting opportunity to help is to participate in one of Justine Davis’ Eco Yoga Retreats, especially if you live in Australia.
