Director Pelikani ‘Aho was a boy who grew up on the Island of Tafahi, also known as the PIU-‘O-TAFAHI, located by the Island of Niuatoputapu in the Kingdom of Tonga. ‘Aho attended Elementary school there with a curriculum adopted from the British government. Inspired by the importance of education, his family moved to the main Island, Tongatapu, looking for a better opportunity. Witnessing the physical labor in hard work of his loving and caring parents, ‘Aho determined to pursue higher education.
Such determination for higher education became a reality when ‘Aho was granted an opportunity to study in the United States of America in the State of Hawaii. The transition from the British school curriculum to the United States school curriculum was rigid and tough, yet adjustable and adaptable. During his schooling in the United States, ‘Aho and many of his friends enjoyed the diversity and flexibility of learning.
‘Aho earned his Bachelor’s degree in Music Education, started a family, and returned to serve in the country that he adores and respects. ‘Aho’s contribution to his family is applauded, and service to his community is recognized. Likewise, ‘Aho is rendering his talent and knowledge to lead, build, and safeguard the country he loves and the community he calls home.
