Pacifica/Samoa - Year 9 Students

Kristin School's Year 9 and 10 students have the opportunity to experience three weeks living in the small rural village community of Poutasi in Samao.

The group help with building projects, educational projects in the schools, teaching and get the chance to enjoy Samoan family life with a home visit experience. 

They enjoy the tropical island environment, while learning about Samoan culture and what is means to recover from a natural disaster.
