Dr Lesieli Tongati'o: This is who I am, going far and wide in education — thecoconet.tv - The world's largest hub of Pacific Island content.
I was born in Kolomotu’a, Tongatapu, Tonga, the eldest daughter of Mele Fe’ofa’aki Tapealava and Viliami Vea ‘o Lotoneiafu Pelesikoti (Prescott). With two younger brothers ‘Ikani and Kolopeaua and a sister Netatua, our parents also ohi (adopted) a nephew and two nieces. We all lived together with our paternal grandparents, plus any other family that came to the main island of Tongatapu for further education or work opportunities. Our household was very vibrant, busy and welcoming of all family, friends and anyone needing any kind of support.
