While living in Samoa for twelve months Jessie Cripps teamed up with another Australian Volunteer for International Development, Beatrice Carey, to film a short video on her assignment in Samoa. Beatrice is atrainer for  the National Orchestra of Samoa who aims to improve the student’s skills and knowledge of string instruments. Beatrice encourages students to challenge themselves by performing in front of family and friends and has organised a variety of events providing the orchestra with a live performance experience.
