What's your Investment?
If you are a teacher who is looking to improve your Pasifika students' academic outcomes, or a social worker who wants to engage with your client's family better; if yours is a government department that wants to run a Pasifika-focused campaign, or a community organisation with a high number of Pasifika clients - a lack of understanding of Pasifika worldviews may already be costing you a great deal.
