Hi everyone! The Paper Grace Project will be on hiatus until further notice as Shivonne is starting a new journey with her aiga in Australia with the hopes to start up TPGP in Brisbane god willing 🤞 This is not a goodbye but a see you soon! Thank you for all you support so far and continue to be grateful for all the love and generosity of you all. Keep an eye on this space and we will see you soon 💙

Alofa atu,

The Paper Grace Project Team xx

Happy Friday everyone!

We have heard an amazing update with our largest donation to date sent to Tonga last month!

We can not thank you enough for all your donations and support. We would not have been able to make this significant donation without you ❤

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It has been a little while since we have made a post so we thought over the next couple of days we would give you an update on the team and also where we are at with donations because so much has happened since our last update!

Keighley has started a new role as a tutor in Supported Learning and has been teaching across the recent Lockdown and into the new year.

While Shivonne will soon be starting a new journey with her aiga this year, starting with a move to Australia! This move will not stop the Paper Grace Movement though! This will only on hiatus until Shivonne has settled and made plans on how to continue The Paper Grace Project in her new home ~

That is only a brief summary on where we are at, at the moment; TOMORROW we will be giving an update on all the donations and plans over the next few months so be sure to stay tuned!

We look forward to being able to support our local communities before the team begins their next chapter in 2022.

Alofa atu xx

✨ Story Time ✨

A few weeks ago in the lead up to the Talanoa Mai Event, I was privileged to join Pea & Asiata on the Blu Table to discuss who TPGP are and what our aim is for the Schools back in the Islands. During my conversation with Asiata, the subject of limited educational resources struck him personally as he is a product of the kid from the Outback in Samoa whose school could not provide the means to offer a wide range of resources. He then delved into his time in his early years and the basic necessities Schools were unable to financially provide.

From his childhood experiences, Asiata would visit Samoa regularly (up until Covid restricted him) and take Stationery for his Nieces & Nephews.

Thank you Asiata for the reminder that our work is still prevalent and needed for our future generation. We know for sure many other Pasifika Family members are doing the same for their Families back home.
