Warrane College Workcamp Samoa 2010

In November 2010, a group will be departing from Warrane College to undertake a development project in Apia, Samoa. The City of Apia is Samoa's capital and largest city. It is located on the central north coast of Upolo, Samoa's second largest island.

The project, which will involve refurbishing several buildings, is aimed at assisting the 'Little Sisters of the Poor' in Samoa. The sisters run an aged-care facility which accommodates and cares for hundreds of elderly people, particularly from poor areas of the country. The Little Sisters of the Poor receive no government funding but rely purely on good-will donations. It was, in fact, The Little Sisters of the Poor in Randwick, who, after experiencing the generosity of the college residents who regularly help out at the Retirement Home, asked us to go to Samoa.

If you are thinking about participating in the project or know someone who may want to, or simply would like to find out more about the Apia project in November, 2010, please submit an expression of interest by sending your details to the workcamp director at workcamp@warrane.unsw.edu.au.
