Hello everyone

I have just created this blog for a short course I’m doing at the University of Auckland. I am a professional staff member and a Master student. I work down at Pasifika Success and I’m looking forward to learning new things so that I can help others and also for my own personal gains. At this moment I’m so excited because this blog makes me feel included.

In the Pacific, it is generally thought that people walk forward into the past and they walk backwards into the future, where the past and future are constantly fused and diffused in the present … this means that the onus of preserving the past and the mapping of the future – whether they be for culture’s sake or the humanity of future generations –rests squarely on our shoulders in the present.
