On Thursday 14th October 2010, we met with Signature Homes for the official handover of keys to our new building. The handover had been delayed for about 6 weeks due to the unusual downpour of rain which held the progress of landscaping, ready lawn and other minor things. However at 3pm, Dale Co-Director of Signature Homes presented Chairperson Tauiliili and visionary Tofilau Malelega with the keys. This is the first time they were able to view the centre since the initial blessing of the land. In humbled silence he and Malelega walked through the building - eyes of wonder and awe on their faces. The response of unspoken words and tears of happiness - touching, seeing, smelling the tangible result of 4 years of planning and praying. Viia le Atua! Malo Saili!
Our journey begins at Puna o le Atamai Aoga Amata, an early childhood service based in Mangere which started in the year 2000. The programme is delivered in our Samoan language and culture and focuses on children's holistic development. This blog is dedidated to our project build of our second centre "Le Malelega a le To'elau ECE" a Samoan/English bilingual centre also situated in Mangere. Both centres are managed by the Fountain of Knowledge Trust.

So what are Autex Boards?
Basically Autex Boards used in our centre are display boards for children's artworks, notices etc and interestingly serves as an acoustic covering. "Autex’s top-quality decorative and acoustic wallcovering fabrics are made from non-woven, highly durable 100% polyester. Resistant to moisture, staining and UV fade, they’re easy to clean and will maintain their performance and good looks for many years." Autex Industries Ltd
