Tonga Red Cross thanks ASG employees for donation

In this photo dated May 1, 2014 Tonga Red Cross Society (TRCS) Chair Lady Hon. Alaileula Tuku'aho and Secretary General Mr. Sione Taumoefolau proudly pose together to show appreciation for the generous donation received from the American Samoa Government workforce that had raised funds specifically earmarked to assist in the relief efforts of the people of Ha'apai, Tonga in the aftermath of Cyclone Ian.

 

Cyclone Ian side stepped the Samoas and ravaged the Tonga islands in January.

 

In early February, our local American Red Cross American Samoa Branch of the San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter accepted the ASG employees donation in a governor’s cabinet meeting presentation.

 

A request prompted by Gov. Lolo M. Moliga led to the successful facilitation and transfer of the donated funds amounting to $10,000 USD directly to the Tonga Red Cross Society.
