Keynote Address to be given by Tuiloma Neroni Slade.


“The mission of the Trust is to reduce and relieve the incidence of heart disease in Samoa and to improve heart-health by supporting the continuation of heart surgery missions, to support primary and secondary prevention of heart disease and to support heart-health education for the Samoan community both in Samoa…....These, then, are the facts on the ground. They are the circumstances that gather us here in shared concern. It is the condition of the poor, of the weak and the young people especially, that motivates the Trust and is the object of our declared mission. ….

High as the Trust purpose is, determined as the Trustees might be, the declared ambition to assist the poorest in Samoa is a task that the Trust alone cannot achieve. And so we turn to you: partners in Government, business, and the community; our families and friends…..In our world today, I believe there is need for more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life; and this would require that we look beyond the framework of States and beneath the surface of communities. We must focus, as never before, on people”
