When asked about what partnering with this charitable cause meant to them, the brothers stated:
“Today was for us to give back to the community.” Kiko said. “I was raised and taught to serve others. I’m very blessed to be at the spot I am today. We love this community and we want to make a big impact.”
“We want to help those in need.” Francis shared. “In Samoa we were raised to put the community first. Before going to school, we’d do whatever needs to be done around our home.It’s natural in our culture to look out for our community and takes care of what needs to be done. God blesses us, so we bless others.”
