Words from your Coordinator
Talofa Lava,
My name is Tu’Mua Lara’Lahni Seuala! I am a South Auckland Youth Development Co-Ordinator here at Raise Up. Heres a little bit about me:
I am a New Zealand born Samoan born and raised here in Auckland.
South Auckland is home to me.
In Samoa my family are from the villages of Lalomanu Aleipata, Leulumoega Aana, & Tuanai.
I grew up in the heart of South Auckland, Manurewa! In high school my interests were Music and Pasifika history. After High School I went to Christchurch to get a taste of life outside of Auckland. In Christchurch I worked at a Special Needs school looking after young people from the ages of 5-21. I enjoyed my time there but eventually got homesick and came back Home.
Since being home, I have worked in 3 different schools in South Auckland including a High School in Manurewa.
I love being from South Auckland, I love that I have the opportunity to work with young people from the place I hold so close to me.
I cannot wait to meet you all.
Welcome to Raise Up South Auckland.
