WEEK 3



Nothing Much was really happening this week. However, Tuesday the 29th of June, 2010 I had the privilege to be part of Distributing Food to the Tongans amongst the county of LA hosted by the Tongan Community Center. The package per family was a one box of Oatmeal (2 bags inside), One Box of Tomatoes Dices (12 cans inside) and One Large Peanut Butter (either cruchy or creamy). The turn out was BIG and I really enjoyed the feeling of being able to be of any use to serve your own kind of people away from home. Us workers started at 6:30am but the distribution was at 7:00am til 9:00am just outside of our Gardena office parking lot. We also launched out very first TCSC "FONO FAKAKOLO" newsletter and I had the opportunity to invite parents for an informational meeting regarding the times they will be available to bring their kids in for my Tongan Language Class. On this day also, Vanessa Tui'one our Outreach Coordinator left to Washington D.C for a work meeting and also for a one week vacation in New York with her sister. So for the remainder of the week it was pretty quiet with just me, Lupe and Brian in the office.
