“I know it’s not much, but we hope that this will help the Organising Committee’s preparations to host the biggest event Samoa stands to host for 2019.  Not only that, but we offer our shoulder in support of the fact that Sports is one of the main cures for non-communicable diseases, one of the deadliest diseases plaguing Samoa and our fellow Pacific Island nations.  If we can help make that happen, then great! And we look forward to seeing all the wonderful returns that the Game will bring for Samoa and its economy.”

The Accident Compensation Corporation joins the family of Sponsors as a Friend of the Games.  ACC is a government agency that operates a system which aims to prevent accidents, assist as much as it could towards the rehabilitation of victims injured by accidents and provides financial compensation to persons affected as a result of accidents covered by this arrangement.

The Pacific Games Office continues to be the key focal point for all matters relating to Samoa 2019 and continues to work alongside the Organising Committee Directors to ensure a successful Games this year.
