2. Fa'atauaina o Aiga

Play
Apple Episodes
Fa'atauaina o Aiga came about from the concern in our hearts for people dealing with family problems in the community. For Samoans, the church is always closely related to general life. We do not separate faith and living, and so have kept faith aspects together with the many topics of family, social, health and general life. Issues include the different roles in families, child abuse, family violence, suicide, asthma, alzheimers, and disabilities.MORE Producer/Network Various
