Schools have become a venue for students to share their experiences of Gita not only with their classmates but also their teachers.

In the most populated district, Tuala-uta, the worst hit areas are the Malaeimi valley, hills of Tafeta and Mapusaga and also Vaitogi, Tafuna and Fagaima.

Many of the homes in these areas are not sturdy or built to the territory’s building code.

Tafuna High School teacher Mafi Momoisea tells KHJ News that many of their students  are still in shelters because their homes are un livable.

He says their school is doing a drive for clothing, food, water and whatever the students and faculty can give to help the families of these students.

Momoisea, who teaches Samoana language and culture at Tafuna says they are making the students share their stories about Gita.

KHJ News talked with Tafuna high School students about the storm.  First Crystal Asifoa and  then Mary Lei Gustavson .
