Below is a picture of what's left of our family's (Schwenke) home back in Malaela, W. Samoa. This was the home of my late grandparents Paul & Patosina Schwenke.



My deepest condolences, my heart, my thoughts, my prayers go out to those who in Samoa who have suffered the tsunami that raged over Samoa and the South Pacific and also our friends in thee Philippine's who were affected by the wrath of the typhoon that ranted their lands and all who have shared this common loss of loved ones in these tragedies.

We have felt the sorrow seize the emptiness inside of us, as we helplessly witnessed the Aftermath of these catastrophic events. Through service, let us unite as one people to provide the aid that our people in the islands so desperately need. Any small or large act or service, will provide at least one or more souls, relief. Please listen to the call of brothers and sisters, for service. Let us join their effort to provide relief to those in need. One Love!




This is what my company is doing to step in and assist the Tsunami Relief for Operation M.A.L.A.E.L.A (Mending A Life and Embracing the Love of AIGA). I love this job. Cybersource Rocks!

Maleala is the village in Samoa that was hardest hit. If you would like to assist in this effort please bring items to the receptionist desk before Thursday October 8th. The shipment will be going out on Friday October 9th.

Here is the list of the items that are most needed:
• Toothpaste and Toothbrushes
