"When America Samoa was hit by a tsunami in September, Ifo Pili wanted to help.
"My first thought was to send containers of food and bottled water down there," said Pili, Eagle Mountain's assistant administrator and former Philadelphia Eagles lineman. Pili was raised in American Samoa, and his father still lives there.
But when he took a trip to this homeland with former BYU football teammates Reno Mahe and Gabe Reid to deliver a donation from the NFL, Pili saw a greater need: jobs.

"What they really need is money and materials to rebuild," Pili said."-SL Trib
