Mausio Mafai

Kalvaka, Noatau, Rotuma.

Papa Mausio displays all the virtues a village elder brings to a community. Retired from the civil service after an illustrious teaching career for thirty five years, Mausio now occupies himself with helping rural communities.

Strongly rooted in family traditions talks fondly about relationships, authority and responsibility. He admits missing his kids but fatherly love and care, Mausio is not short of, on the Uto ni Yalo.

Contrasted with waters around Rotuma, Mausio laments at the apparent lack of fish in our greater oceans. Like his ancestors, Mausio displays a keen sense of the balance of life that the younger crew are only beginning to understand and appreciate.
