Seirosa Wallwork-Lamb, the eldest daughter of Su’a Hellene Wallwork and Travis Lamb, is continuing her family’s strong tradition of giving back to the community. With Valentine’s Day approaching, she chose to share love in a meaningful way by donating care packages to the Samoa Victim Support Group. According to Seirosa, Valentine’s Day is not just about couples—it is “the day of love,” and love should be shared with everyone who matters. Even though she is currently single, she believes love can be expressed in many ways. The Samoa Victim Support Group is especially close to her heart because of the vital work they do, particularly the care provided by Mama Lina and her team for women and children in need. Seirosa’s connection to SVSG began when she was just 12 years old. She worked with the organisation and served as a youth ambassador while in high school. Over the years, she has witnessed firsthand how much the organisation supports families, particularly the children at the Campus of Hope. Her dedication to giving started even earlier. At 11 years old, Seirosa founded Cookies 4 Charity Samoa, a project through which she has baked and sold cookies to raise more than $22,000 tala for various NGOs across Samoa. Most of the funds she donated this Valentine’s Day were raised over the past two to three months through her baking. She expressed her gratitude to her loyal customers in Samoa, Australia, and New Zealand who continue to support her efforts. “All profits will be donated to the NGOs here in Samoa,” she said. Seirosa is currently studying law and criminology and hopes to build a career in that field. She received a Manaaki Scholarship in her first year of university but later chose to study privately so she could pursue two degrees simultaneously. She will return to Auckland next Friday to continue her studies. Her biggest inspiration is her late grandmother, Julia Wallwork. Seirosa shared that she misses her grandmother deeply and that doing charity work helps her feel close to her and continue her legacy. “I was inspired by my grandmother, Julia Wallwork,” she said. She described her grandmother as someone who always showed love and cared for the community. She even compared her grandmother to Mama Lina, noting the similarities in how they both care for others. Humbly, Seirosa said, “Don’t look at me as a role model. I’m just doing what my grandma would have wanted, what my family taught me, and what Mama Lina has shown me about giving back.” For Seirosa, the real inspiration comes from the children and victims at the Campus of Hope. Despite the hardships they have endured, they continue to show up with smiles on their faces. Their resilience motivates her and reinforces why SVSG’s work is so important. She also encourages anyone facing challenges not to stay silent. “As Samoans and as islanders, we need to stop keeping things hidden and feeling ashamed to speak up,” she said. She reminded everyone that help is always available at SVSG for anyone in need of support or someone to talk to. Through her baking, studies, and community service, Seirosa shows that love is more than words—it is action. For her, spreading love is the best way to honour her grandmother and give back to the community she cares about so deeply.
