Tongan-born New Zealand rapper, Devolo, and Samoan artist Mareko this afternoon surprised school children in Nuku'alofa by giving away free notebooks and pens.

They are part of the Pride of the Pacific Tour from New Zealand organised by DJ Willy the co-founder, who held a concert at the Queen Salote College Hall on Friday 8. He said they raised over $1,300 pa'anga and attracted up to 200 spectators to the concert. "But after paying the hall and sound system we were left with 500 pa'anga to buy the school materials."



Last year the goodwill tour donated a van-load of flour, sugar, noodles and candy, a New Year present for the needy at Tukutonga.

Devolo, (literally meaning the Devil) whose real name 'Iloahelotu Puniani was happy to hand out the books to children before returning to New Zealand this week.
