Tala Lelei Newsletter

The newsletter was set up to help the HPC churches with their respective healthy eating and physical activity, and smokefree promotion projects by sharing their success stories and learning. Other useful information was also included in the newsletter such as recipes, upcoming events, other services, healthy tips and contact details.

It was published in English, as this was the common language for the participating HPC churches of mainly Samoan, Cook Island, Tongan and Niuean ethnicities.
