With the International Midwives Day and International Nurses Day celebrated this week, Kelera Rabuka says she is proud of the group's achievements.
Ms Rabuka said in a day, they would help with around 12 deliveries per shift at Samoa's national and
district hospitals.
"For me being at home for almost a year without a job and to go back and give back to the community that was rewarding," she said.
Kelera Rabuka said that for her and others in the group the 10-week experience has left a lasting impression on them.
