THE first boy to be sent abroad under the scholarship scheme for the children of Tongan Nobles originated by Crown Prince Tubouto’a a year ago, is Alibate Tubou, heir to the title Vaea.
He left by the “Matua” on the 9th for New Zealand, where he will attend Wesley College, Paerata, Auckland.
The scholarship fund is provided by the Nobles, who have allocated a por tion of their monthly allowance to ac cumulate in a Trust Account for the purpose. Through the generosity of Queen Salote the fund was recently augmented by a gift of £445.
