More on Saleapaga

A kind soul has opened a Paypal donation site to help the Legalo family, owners of the FaoFao Beach Fales in Saleapaga.

That was where my partner and I stayed in 2003, during the visit that I mentioned in my earlier post on the recent Samoan catastrophe--the photo above was taken from there. The mini-resort was entirely wiped out by the tsunami, and the struggling owners were not insured.

Regular updates on the tsunami aftermath, some that make grim reading, may be found here.
