Tofa Soifua Manila 🩷

After nine dedicated years at Anglican Action, our beloved staff member, Manila, is moving on to focus on her catering business. During her time with us, Manila made an incredible impact across the various hubs but spent most of her time at He Ūkaipo (formerly Kids First Whānau Center).

Last Tuesday, we gathered at our staff hui to farewell her, sharing stories and memories that highlighted her immense contributions. Manila’s hospitality, warmth, infectious laughter, and kindness will be deeply missed—especially by the mothers she supported with both compassion and firmness.

She welcomed everyone with open arms and a huge heart, qualities that have left a lasting impression on us all. Though we will miss her dearly, we wish her all the best in her future endeavours and know she will continue to thrive in her next chapter.

Tofa soifua Manila! 🩷💜💙
