Editor,

I am writing you to inform you of a truth that must be revealed regarding your article on Overseas Tongans [2] posted on the internet on 12/6/07. It says. "In September Fehi'a Kava (17) will enter Brown University in the US on scholarship to study Bio-Chemical Engineering and her family believe that she will be the first Tongan student to enter the famous Ivy League university."

The truth of the matter is that Nunia Mafi daughter of Saulala Mafi who graduated from Tonga High received her Master's of Arts in Teaching from Brown University in 2003. We do applaud Ms. Kava on her accomplishment and wish her all the best of luck in her studies at Brown University.
