Valentine’s Day came and went without much noise this year, but the Mapuifagalele Home for the Elderly were not forgotten by members of Fresh off Da Vaa Entertainment who delivered gifts of fresh produce and food supplies.

Founder of Fresh of Da Vaa said the gifts were purchased with the support of their business partners abroad.

Partners included the Samoa Outreach Community Centre SOCC from Brisbane Australia, DOMN8U Productions and JF Fashion of Utah, USA, he said.

“They all planned fundraisers so they could donate and send support for the people in Samoa”, said Jay.

Jay Sapa’u Vaafusuaga, 45, of Papaloloa founded Fresh of Da Vaa Entertainment in Melbourne, Australia.

“Seeing the Sisters today got me emotional,” said Mr Vaafusuaga.  “How I wished our business partners were all here to meet them… They were surprised and didn’t expect a delivery today for Valentines…”
“But knowing that we did a little something to help the elderly and the carers has made my heart full.”
The Fresh off Da Vaa crew and their business partners gifted 5 trays of noodles, 6 boxes of elegi, 2 bags of rice, basket of pineapples, koko Samoa, 3 aufa’is and a basket of breadfruit.
Jay said that this was a last minute plan for them when $300 was sent from abroad, so $200 went on noodles and elegi, and the $100 was spent on taxi fares and buying his phone credit, he said.
“All fresh produce were from my plantation. But the next one, we will make sure it’ll be bigger and more.”

I know that Australia is suffering from the covid 19 epidemic but we hope and pray that it will soon pass, but thank you again everyone for all you do for us and we will pray for you and your families. God bless you all and hopefully some day we will see you all again.”

“Valentines 2022 will always be special to each and every one of us, now that we are connected with the Sisters of Mapuifagalele,…”

“My Dear Sisters of Mapuifagalele, we will work on getting fresh produce over to you all. Thank you again, for having us and for accepting our little help. You are a blessing to all, that come through,” said Jay Vaafusuaga.l
