The event also allowed the two fafafine societies of Samoa and American Samoa opportunities during the week to further their relationship to achieve their goals successfully.

SOFIAS hosted their sisters from Samoa (Samoa Faafafine Association- SFA) who came over for the SOFIAS 40th Pageant, last Saturday evening, at a traditional “aiava”, at the Bowling Sports Bar in Tafuna.  

An “aiava” is a farewell party, when guests and visitors leave, thrown by the hosting village, where traditional gifts are presented.
