Happy Samoan Language Week
Manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa!
The 2025 theme for Samoa Language Week is ‘Ia malu lou sā. Folau i lagimā – A well-grounded self, is a successful self’.
The Komiti o le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa – Samoa Language Week Committee explain this year’s theme:
“A well-crafted ocean sailing vessel, built with care and precision, ensures a safe and steady journey. When all its parts are thoughtfully constructed, the vessel remains balanced, strong and ready to face the open seas.
Similarly, people who prepare thoroughly and with intention become grounded and resilient and well-equipped to navigate life’s challenges and succeed in their endeavours. No matter the challenges and hardships of life, a well-grounded person will not be easily shaken or defeated because they are firmly rooted and well-prepared”.
Read more about the theme for the week in the attached file above.
