Ma’e gona vei Ta ve’i Na, ma ara’i yau saraga vaha bibi. (The demise of my father and mother really struck me to the core).

Sacred Heart College head girl Ilisabeta Rede lost her mother when she was in Year Six. Two years later her father died. She’s an orphan.

Tears flowed freely during the prefect investiture on Friday because her parents were not there.
