She added, "This is a special moment for it gives us the opportunity through SAHC to honor the contributions of many who have poured their hearts and lives into students.  Many of the names go unnoticed, but be blessed, their mission of impacting lives can be seen.  Most importantly, each of these students knows who these individuals are and how they have positively invested in them.  This also is a time we get to recognize excellence both on and off the athletic playing fields."

 

Aumua Amata concluded by saying, "Education is very important to me because it has allowed me to travel the world representing Pacific islanders in both private and public affairs.  Without this education, I would never see the awesome creation of God's mighty Hand throughout the world. I am grateful to Rev. Mauga and the event organizers for allowing me to share this special moment with them."
