Avele College celebrated the handing-over of a new hall on 19th July held at the school compound.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Samoa, H.E. Mr. SENTA Keisuke represented his government at the event. The ceremony was attended by the Hon. Acting Prime Minister, Tuala Tevaga Iosefo Ponifasio, Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Papaliʻi Liʻo Ta’eu Masipa’u, Hon. Ministry of Works, Transport and Infrastructure, Olo Fiti Afoa Va’ai, representatives of the Ministry of Education and Culture, and distinguished guests.
Japan’s assistance was formalized last October, with a grant amount of USD222,517 (approximately SAT612,000) provided under its Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects (GGP) to fund the project reconstruction of a single-storey school hall building with a stage, kitchen and toilets.
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.
Japan places a high priority on supporting education, believing it plays a crucial role in developing a child’s capability and nation’s capacity.
Japan’s GGP was introduced in 1991 to respond directly to the basic human needs at the grass-roots level with 226 projects successfully completed.
