After living in the Manukau Ward for near 30 years I feel things need to change.  

As a teen attending local high schools, the issues youths face today are essentially the same if not worse added with the covert world of social media.  Also many streets are dirty and our home would look fantastic if we would pick up more rubbish rather than leaving it on the ground. 

Another thing I’d like to address is the fear of being looked at the wrong way.  We all have different backgrounds but we all have the same values.  Don’t let your eyes misinterpret people’s desires and needs.  Born in Samoa and growing up here and Asia has taught me the amazing relationships we have when we choose to open up and consider each other.  Leadership shouldn’t maintain but should make the future better.  Let’s do this Manukau.
