This week is Vaiaso o le Gagana Sāmoa (Samoan language week) 🇼🇸

This year’s theme, “E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le nu’u” (“From the high mountains are the blessings of the village”). It reminds us that the wisdom of our leaders, the strength of our families, and the values passed down through generations are the source of many blessings.

Here are a few everyday phrases you can learn and use throughout the week ✨

Tālofa lava! Try these phrases in Gagana Samoa - the Samoan language - to celebrate Samoa Language Week 🗣️

General elections are coming up in a few months. Here's some key things to note about voting for homeless people and those without a permanent address.

You can:
- enrol at the address where you spend a substantial part of your time, or
- enrol at the last residential address where you lived for at least 1 month, even if that was some time ago.

When you enrol to vote, you’ll need to provide a postal address where electoral mail can be sent. This can be:
- a PO box, or
- the address of a family member or friend who agrees to hold your mail to collect, or
- a church, support group, or service you go to (e.g. Wellington City Mission or DCM), who agrees to hold your mail to collect.

IMPORTANT: You need to enrol by midnight Sunday 25 October 2026. You won’t be able to enrol once voting starts this year. Voting is open from 26 October to 7 November 2026.
