SAMOA TSUNAMI - 29TH SEPTEMBER 2009

 

The South Pacific Islands of Samoa and American Samoa have been 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 have been 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 Samoan islands with a terrible loss of precious 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.

Samoa, the Pearl of the Pacific, has often been viewed through the lens of a camera.
The images on these Web sites are a testimony to both the skill
of the photographers and the beauty of Samoa.

tattoo (pe'a) during the Rugby World Cup 2003 held in Australia. Lome
said, that the pe'a was a way for young Samoan men to honour their heritage
and show respect for their culture.  The pe'a took nine days to complete with the
entire operation being carried out with a pig's tooth attached to a drum stick.
