SAMOA TSUNAMI - 29TH SEPTEMBER 2009
|
The South Pacific Islands of Samoa and American Samoa were devastated by a tsunami that hit the islands on Tuesday, 29th September 2009. An earthquake measuring 8.3 caused waves between 3 and 6 metres and hit the south-west coasts which were heavily populated by many high-end and budget tourist resorts and local villages.
Whole villages were wiped out, with buildings flattened and beaches washed away. Residents had to leave everything behind as they were evacuated to higher ground. The tsunami had a devastating impact on the beautiful islands of Samoa with a terrible loss of life and property. Our loving thoughts and prayers are with all the Samoan people and those wonderful friends of Samoa who also have lost their loved ones during their time of loss. Our heartfelt thanks go to the many wonderful aid agencies and friends of Samoa who contributed so promptly to the rebuilding of Samoa after this terrible tragedy struck. May God's love and blessings be with you all. For further information about the Samoa Tsunami, you are welcome to CLICK HERE for some relevant images. |

There is a special magic about Samoa that, for centuries has drawn writers, travellers, romantics, indeed all kinds of people to her shores. These include the famous writer Robert Louis Stevenson, the trader, writer and politician, George Westbrook and the missionaries, including John Williams of the London Missionary Society, who established their churches on Samoa reaching out from there to the rest of Oceania.
