Ka kite Naomi

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to say goodbye to you as you leave Te Hono O Nga waka. You have been a great work colleague and a friend to me and many others. You have contributed so much to our team and our kaupapa with your skills, knowledge, passion and aroha.

I will miss your cheerful presence, your wise advice, your creative ideas and your generous spirit. You have inspired me to grow professionally and personally, and I am grateful for all the support and guidance you have given me.

I wish you all the best for your future endeavours. I know you will succeed in whatever you do, because you are talented, hard-working and resilient. I hope we can keep in touch and share our journeys.

Haere ra Naomi. Thank you for everything. You will always be part of our whanau.
