Kia Ora!
I wanted to take a moment to share some of the incredible work our CMY Le Mana Program has accomplished over the past month. First, I’m thrilled to highlight the success of our youth groups and a special shout out to our CMY Le Mana and WYPIN senior staff members – Sefita Rasolosolo and Francis Masi who drove this initiative. The Harmony Youth Summit was a highlight of such strong relationship building and work which saw a fantastic event that brought young leaders together to discuss and promote cultural harmony and inclusion across more than 140 participants from schools in the West. It’s always inspiring to see their passion and dedication in action.
CMY Le Mana Pasifika supported a mental health community sports day at Errington Reserve led by Ngā Mātai Pūrua, along with the New Zealand organization Rugby 1 on 1 and the New Zealand High Commission. This event brought the community together through sports and culture. These collaborations have been instrumental in providing additional resources and support for our young people.
We’ve had a significant change to our team as well. Our Team Leader Patrick Hausman has transitioned from CMY Le Mana to his new role with YRIPP at the end of last week. I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his contributions and wish him all the best in his new position. Some of his highlights include spearheading our leadership initiatives, strengthening our partnerships, and significantly contributing to new initiatives. His leadership and dedication will be now be utilised in another CMY area. From the LMP Team and community, a big thank you, Patrick!
Looking ahead, we’re focusing on interviewing for the Team Leader role for CMY Le Mana bringing in new talent and leadership will help us continue to grow and improve our services, an initiative with the Melbourne Storm to showcase their cultural heritage jersey and more positive mental health posts. Thank you all for your continued support and involvement with the CMY Le Mana Program. We are looking forward to another productive month ahead and I am grateful to be part of such an amazing team.
