Award for our PPNA President

Congratulations to Safaato'a (To'a) Fereti who was recognised for her outstanding contribution to improving the health and wellbeing of Pacific people. Our very own president who is also Clinical Nurse Director of Medicine at Countie's Manukau Health and Chair of the Nursing Council of New Zealand, won the Pasifika Futures Health and Wellbeing Award at the 2020 SunPix Pacific Peoples Awards. We have all been privileged to have To'a lead us in our association, and it was an honor to see all her hard work (usually behind the scenes) being recognised. Not one for the limelight, To'a shone at the awards and it was a special time to have all her family, including her Mum and brother (who flew in from Dunedin) sisters, brother-in-law and four children present with her. Also supporting as always, our esteemed matuas Fuimaono Karl Pulotu-Endemann and Aiolupotea Hilda Fa’asalele. Well done To'a, we are all very proud of you! Chehuu!
