A combined memorial service devoted to all victims of last week's Pacific tsunami which struck Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga will be held on Sunday in Auckland. The service, organised by Auckland's Samoan community, will start at 6pm at the Waitakere Trust Stadium.
"There was the thought of having two services but there were difficulties in trying to assemble that," Reverend Asora Amosa says. "We determined that rather than scattering our communities it would be best if we brought everybody together at one venue."
He says although the service is being organised by the Samoan community it will be dedicated to everybody who lost their lives on that tragic day. "We want to focus on and remember all the victims who suffered from this tragedy," Amosa says.
"We chose the Waitakere Trust Stadium because of its capacity (5000 plus 1000 temporary) although we would have liked to have secured a larger venue."
