November 20th and 21st came and gone, yet so much was accomplished by our faithful supporters and members. We cannot do justice by the mere mention of your names but we know that from your hearts you have gotten the utmost assurance that somewhere out there in the islands some kids are finding something to smile about. You did not do this because you wanted the world to know you are kind but because you really are compassionate. We, at the SRW, sincerely say to YOU, Faafetai Tele Lava!

To Taylor Vaifanua And Friends, thanks for letting us provide the vehicle to funnel your love to your people and hope that we will continue to work together in future projects.

Please accept our heartfelt thanks to the following: Vaiola Ward (SLC), Rita Nieto and Scott Tudo(manager) of Walmart (Riverton), Milcreek 1st Ward, The Ridge at Jordan Landing, A-Plus Printing, 2Xtreme Boot Camp, Lone Peak Elementary, Trophies (Iowa), Mayor Wall and the City of Taylorsville, Big Budda (Leroy Teo) of Fox 13 in the Morning, Jayson & Pamela Orvis, Mitzy Folau, Julie Iosefa Tuimauga, Adrian Williams, Kuuipo Vea, Justeena Masina, Kenneth Akers, April Duff, Roger Jerman, Angie Vaifanua, Lenae Lichfield, Kim Anderson, Dofi Faasou, Ti Kinikini, Richard Wolfgramm. Our apologies to those whom we've not named but a lot of you have desired to remain anonymous.

Thank you Kalisi for building our crates out in the cold, and last but not least our thanks to our members, Vernetta, Beverly, Elsie, Gloria, Verona, Lita, Adele, and Wendy.

Now where from here? Like we have always maintained, we will keep this labor of love going until we are not needed anymore and we see no reason why we shouldn't.
We are already preparing for the Back to School Project 2010. Our donors have already pledged assistance in different areas. Most of them have visited our on-site drives and have committed to contribute. Hence we continually ask for your help in realizing the dream of some precious souls whose development have been hindered by circumstances they have no control over. See the American spirit of philanthropy is second only to none in the world, and we trust that as long as we keep our work in good governance and transparency we will succeed in helping our fellowman.

  1. So much fun! Glad we could be part of it. Some of the items we brought were also from Lori King family and the BYU 239th Japanese ward! Can't wait until the next project.
