We were supposed to meet in person in Wellington but then lock down one happened then again in Auckland but then lock down two happened. Our important agenda was disrupted but we still made it work with enthusiasm and energy. Although our nation and pacific people are facing difficult times (even more now with Covid-19), I love this photo because it captures our smiles which I know comes ultimately from our hope we have that things will get better! And we each play a role in making that change. Faafetai tele lava Grainne Moss, Diane Mara, Chair Faamatuainu Tino Pereira, Deputy Chair Dr Teuila Percival, Dr Gerhard Sunborn and Dr Julia Ioane. It’s always amazing to have the chance to sit alongside you all as we advocate for the best care for our Pasifika communities 🌺 Thanks also to GM Holika, Faye, Fonomaitu and Kyla’s for your support, work and dedication. #pacific #nz #leadership #children #youngpeople #inspiration #dontgiveup #hopeful #community #wellbeing #support #grateful
