A Māori Samoan family's journey of learning the gagana in Samoa

In 2017 Māori journalist Renee Kahukura Iosefa and her Samoan husband, Walker Iosefa, made the decision to move to Samoa to provide an opportunity for their three children to learn their Samoan language and cultural heritage. Now, three years on, they've made the decision to return to Aotearoa. The Iosefa family share their journey of discovery by celebrating the importance of living the language.

Schools (Education) in Samoa, are way better than schools in NZ. Here, they care more about lunches and hats than teaching the kids... plus donations every fortnight..goodness
