Rotary Meeting 4 December 2024

Our speaker this week will be

Lafulafu V Ekenasio

Chair Mafutaga Tagata Matutua PIPC Newtown

Our  Mayor Tory Whanau writes on Lafulafu's APW Award citation in 2023:

"Lafulafu is an unsung hero in the Wellington community. She is the longest serving Chairperson of the Mafutaga Tagata Matutua PIPC Newtown (Senior exercise group), an active senior leader at the Pacific Island Presbyterian Church in Newtown, a member of the Pasifika Community Patrol Group and has dedicated over 20 years of service as a volunteer.

Lafulafu is passionate about the health and well-being of our elderly and has mobilised and created a safe space for Pacific people in Wellington to come together to exercise, share their stories and raise any concerns and support they may need. She has organised many community events in partnership with government and community organisations.

Every year you will find Lafulafu with the Mafutaga Tagata Matutua group performing at the Wellington Pasifika Festival, bringing joy to our Wellington community, and also inspiring our everyone by showing there is no age limit to what you can do - with her oldest member 90 years of age. "

Lafulafu will speak to us about, " Working with the Pasifika eldery in Newtown - keeping people moving."
