Samoa suffered heavy loss of life and saw a huge portion of its housing destroyed. The consequences of this tragic event will be felt for many years.
For having visited this beautiful and humble country and for having been touched by the warmth of its people, assisting Samoa is only natural. I hope you are able to help too. In this image gallery, you will find a small selection of photos taken in Samoa three years ago. Large format prints of these pictures are available at an affordable price. By ordering one or several prints, the full amount of your purchase will be transferred to the New Zealand Red Cross, one of the organisations spearheading the aid effort.
Please forward this gallery to your friends, post the gallery's link on your blog if you have one; and also on Facebook or any other social networking site if you use them. Thank you!
