Using the rhythms of the log drum ("pate"), combined with traditional and contemporary instruments, Opetaia Foa'i and the band deliver a robust array of Pacific flavors in a genre all of its own.

KINA: HEALING NEPAL CAMPAIGN
SJS student Mikaela Chia shares the following information about a campaign in support of earthquake restoration of schools in Nepal:
This past May, Elijah Krag, a student from UVic, went with a small team to Nepal shortly after the first earthquake hit for relief work.
Shortly after, their team was caught at the epicentre of the second 7.3 Magnitude earthquake.
They are now in the midst of launching a campaign to rebuild 4 earthquake proof schools, and promote education for girls and the community in 4 rural villages in Nepal.
His/Their story can be heard here:

Eli has been working extremely hard, and I am truly inspired by his passion and commitment to this movement towards change.
He is currently seeking help to promote the campaign and raise awareness surrounding the issue. Please share this information widely.
