I live in New Zealand (as do thousands of speakers of Samoan, where Samoans make up the largest group of "Pacific" people after the indigenous Maori). I work mostly on the English and Maori Wikipedias.


A Samoan-language pre-school centre (a'oga amata) recently expanded into a new building in my city (Porirua). It can take 75 children. Its opening was featured on Maori Television.


Please email me (or add a question to my "talk" page here) if you have questions about how you can contribute to the Samoan Wikipedia. I may be able to help, even though I do not speak or read more than a few words of Samoan. Because of my obvious interest in Pacific people I was recently invited to join Islanderfriends.com, where I have been actively promoting this site.
