I look forward to learning
I look forward to learning the outcome of this Conference and especially what is being done in Tonga by the families, the church, Civil Society Organisation, the Government (Police and relevant Ministries) to help the deportees to reintegrate into Tongan society. Members of the Tonga National Forum of Church Leaders used to attend meetings overseas to discuss this problem.
