A group of mothers and their children sit casually on bamboo mats in the shade, weaving napkin holders out of raffia while they talk and laugh.
Lia Pa'apa'a is running the weaving workshop and she gently guides the group through each step.
"We run a lot of workshops that allow the mothers to express their ancestral and cultural connections to who they are and the parent they want to be, as well as the stories they want to tell their children," she says.
