Talofa!
Short for 'Si o ta alofa atu,’ which
means, 'I am happy and delighted
to give you my love’
TEO Deputy Director Christian
Rawson and Senior Engineer
Michael Vehar were impressed
by the quality of the shirts that
Da Ai Technology makes out of
recycled plastic bottles.
Led by TEO director Reupena
Tagaloa, our team visited the
overflowing landfill site by
Fagatele Bay.
It was sad to see so much plastic
waste marring the
beautiful island landscape
instead of being recycled.
When Governor Tulafono met
with our team, he expressed his
deep gratitude for all the work
that Tzu Chi Foundation has done
for American Samoa in the past.
He was delighted to find out that
Tzu Chi does much more than
disaster relief work
all around the world.
The Governor was very
excited to learn what Da Ai
Technology can do with recycled
plastic bottles.
We met with American Samoa’s
largest soft drink distributor, GHC
Reid, to discuss possible recycling
effort partnerships.
CRAG’s Trevor Kaitu’u shared
innovative incentive suggestions
to get the islanders interested
and involved
in new and
exciting
recycling
programs at
local schools.
Our team shared Tzu Chi’s
mission and purpose with
students at American Samoa’s
Community College. The
students were inspired to care
for Mother Earth and to
remember the three R’s:
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.
Native Tzu Chi volunteer,
Evelyn T. Sao-Stevens, reminded
the college students how
Samoans used to take care
of the land in the old days.
American Samoa Power Authority
(ASPA) presented
their own vision of a
sustainable future.
Andra Samoa,
ASPA’s CEO,
was overjoyed to
wear a beautiful
and comfortable
Da Ai polo shirt
made entirely
out of recycled
plastic bottles.
After our presentation, the team’s first
question was “How do we become
Tzu Chi Volunteers?”
Our team visited LBJ Hospital,
site of past Tzu Chi Medical
Outreach programs on
American Samoa.
We met Dr. Jim Malone, who is
already known as a recycling
fanatic. He packs plastic bottles
in his suitcase to recycle when
he travels to the mainland. He
was very
excited
about
Tzu Chi.
Local Tzu Chi Volunteers
helped prepare for the main event
at Lee Auditorium
Ready for the crowd
A full house of over 150 residents
came to our community gathering to
hear about recycling on the island.
The event was a
complete success!
1. Identify Tzu Chi local POC
2. Starting the Grassroots Movement
3. Encourage volunteer concept
4. Establishing the local recycling
centers
5. Display Products at various site
6. Plan to make lavalava with local
plastic bottles at Da Ai Technology
