The wairua of the Awa whispers many things. If we are truly willing to listen, the answers will come.

I honor my parents in the work I do on the Awa. They were salt of earth, hardworking people that suffered no fools and gave to others. As I approach my fourth year working for the trust, I pause to express gratitude for each and every blessing. And there have been many.

As a kaimahi hāpori working with all of the communities, I’m able (with our team) to experience transitional and transformational changes that are making an impact now and into the future.
