Dictionaries project : The Dictionaries project is still ongoing and last year in November 2005, SAWG distributed Dictionaries to 32 colleges and secondary schools in Upolu and Savaii . All the secondary schools in Samoa now receive Dictionaries as an end of year prize for the Best All Round Female Student in Year 13. We have received some very positive feedback from many of these schools as well as some of the students awarded this prize.

Scholarships Project : So far, SAWG has five female students on the program; one student at Samoa Polytechnic taking Automotive Engineering; one student at National University of Samoa who is finishing her degree in maths; a young lady at Chanel College; a girl student at Loto Taumafai School for People with Disabilities, and a scholarship student who is trying to finish her Bachelor of Education with the Faculty of Education at the National University of Samoa young teacher at NUS. This year one of our Polytechnic scholarship students successfully graduated from the Tourism and Hospitality course.

Dictionary Project 2004

Every year since 2000, SAWG has donated dictionaries to various schools around Samoa. This year was no exception, on the 24th of November members from SAWG travelled around Upolu to present the dictionaries to the prize winners. Ruby Vaa was the SAWG representative in Savaii for the presentations.
The dictionaries were for the Best All Round Year 9 Girl and the aim was to help them with their studies and empower them to succeed in life. SAWG has also created a database which will contain all the information about the recipients academic and social progress. This is an initiative which will assist the association in providing funds and scholarships in the future.
