People in the Samoan islands have been attending church services to commemorate those killed in last week's tsunami.
More than 170 people died when the tsunami, triggered by a 8.3-magnitude earthquake, washed away coastal villages and resorts in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga.
This man, Failuga Gase, lost his home and all his possessions when the wall of water hit his village of Lalomanu on Samoa's south-east coast.
A government minister has said many of Samoa's dead will be buried in mass graves in a new cemetery in the capital, Apia.
The memorial services are a vital part of the islands' healing process, says the BBC's correspondent in Samoa, Phil Mercer.
Many people have begun rebuilding their homes but others remain on the high ground they fled to when the tsunami struck, afraid to return to the coast.
