Ko Ngātokimatawhaorua te waka
Ko Taumārere te awa
Ko Tapuiwharawhara te maunga
Ko Puketohunoa te pā
Ko Kāretu te marae
Ko Ngati Manu te hapū
Ko Ngāpuhi tōku iwi, engari e whakapapa hoki ahau ki Ngāti Porou, ki Ngāti Māhanga, ki Ngāti Māhuta, ki Ngāti Raukatauri
Ko Te Whetoi arā ko Pōmare te tupuna
Ko Dave Hovell ahau
I’m inspired by the work that Te Hau Āwhiowhio Trust does and feel privileged to be a part of it. I was drawn in by Martin’s vision, which, along with the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, has resulted in an effective model for the delivery of whānau-centred services.
The impact I hope to have in my role is to contribute behind the scenes in the finance and accounting space, to help futureproof the Trust to continue to grow and respond to the needs and aspirations of whānau.
