Rau rangatira mā, e kui mā, e koro mā, e huihui nei, tēnei aku mihi nui ki a koutou. Nau mai haere mai ki te Whare Kawana
Kia ora tātou katoa.
(A special welcome to Sir Graeme Dingle and Jo-Anne, Lady Dingle.)
Thank you all for joining David and me here to celebrate the wonderful work Sir Graeme and Jo-Ann do, along with their terrific team at the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
Vice-Regal involvement with the Graeme Dingle Foundation extends right back to the organisation’s early beginnings.
Former Governor-General Sir Paul Reeves was among those who gathered with Sir Graeme and Jo-Anne in 1994 on Maungakiekie – One Tree Hill – to figure out how best to support Aotearoa’s youth to thrive.
