In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the Dandenong EFKS Junior Youth group, led by A'oa'o Dominic Taeleipu, a graduate from Malua Theological College, visited the Campus of Hope in Samoa during their annual conference.

The group, which consists of youth leaders Sina Taai, Leahrina Koko, and Taei Taai, made sure to fit in a meaningful visit to the children at the campus before their scheduled program began. The visit started with a heartfelt prayer and was followed by uplifting words of encouragement from Taeleipu, who echoed the theme of "Fesoasoani and Alofa" which means in Samoan "Helping Hands and Love".

According to a statement, emotions ran high as the group learned about the children's journey at the campus. "We are immensely grateful to the youth leaders for their heartfelt visit and generous contributions," said Pres. Siliniu Lina Chang SVSG CEO.

"Their visit is not only a day of fun and learning but also a testament of the power of community involvement in shaping a brighter future for all."she added.

The group's efforts were not just about having fun together but also making a tangible difference in the lives of the children. They engaged in activities, played games, and created meaningful connections with the children. To further support the campus's ongoing care and education needs, the group presented a monetary donation and stationeries.

The day concluded with the EFKS Junior Youth purchasing $700 worth of goods from the Campus of Hope shop, which showcases handicrafts and clothing made by the children themselves. This gesture not only provided financial support but also celebrated the children's creativity and hard work.

The Campus of Hope, known for its dedicated service to children facing adversity, welcomed the visit as an opportunity to raise awareness and foster relationships that extend beyond the confines of the campus.

The visit was a testament to the power of community involvement and the impact it can have on shaping a brighter future for all. As Pres. Siliniu Lina Chang aptly put it, "Their visit is not only a day of fun and learning but also a testament of the power of community involvement in shaping a brighter future for all."
