Wall of Water

During the early morning hours of Tuesday September 29, 2009 a tsunami, triggered by a powerful 8.0 undersea earthquake, slammed into the Samoan islands located in the South Pacific. The waves topping 13 feet were not only enormous in size but also in strength, engulfing everything in its path. The waves known to travel up to 500 mph uprooted trees, crumbled homes, mangled cars, and most devastating of all, claimed lives violently and abruptly.

As the days pass the death toll continues to climb. Many villages have been obliterated, including the village of Malaela located on the Southeast coast of Samoa. Thus bringing about the start of "Operation M.A.L.A.E.L.A" where we hope to "Mend A Life and Embrace the Love of Aiga" by combining our talents and efforts to help our families reclaim and rebuild their lives in our village of Malaela.
