A massive asset By Frank Neill
When Teresea Olsen’s whƗnau moved from Tolaga Bay to Wainuiomata in the 1960s so they could find work they provided the area with a massive asset. Touching on just three ways the whƗnau has benefitted the community, Ms Olsen’s father Ralph was a founding member of the Wainuiomata Marae, her mother Keriana was a founding member of the Kǀkiri
Marae, and Ms Olsen is the 2021 Wellingtonian of the Year for her services to health. The initiatives Ms Olsen led to vaccinate vulnerable communities against Covid-19 and her leadership and support of foodbank initiatives were major reasons for her snaring the top award at the Dominion Post Wellingtonian of the Year Awards.
