American Samoa

One of the Sisters who had worked in Western Samoa later undertook the role of principal of St Theresa's Primary School, Leone, in American Samoa. Here, in 1997, she found that the school was better resourced, in theory, than the schools had been in Western Samoa, but there were problems with finance. As in many missionary countries, the Sisters saw part of their role as pointing out instances of social injustice - never an easy role.
