DR. MARY JANE FALEMEI MATAFONUAFOTU TAUELANGI KIVALU 👏🏽🎓✨
To God be the glory for this magnificent milestone!
Today, we don’t just celebrate a doctoral journey - we celebrate the incredible heart of a woman who gave her all for her family, Kilikali church/youth & 🇹🇴 community while reaching for the stars.
From the first year of your Bachelor of Commerce to MBA to now the final demanding hours of your DBA at the University of Otago, your journey has been a masterclass in sacrifice.
We saw the exhaustion in your eyes as you poured into your child and your home as well as our church/youth group, only to sit down and pour into your studies long after the rest of the world was asleep.
There were moments when the climb felt impossible - when the struggles of life and the pressures of academia collided.
But in those moments of sacrifice, you leaned on the Lord, and His grace carried you through. You showed your child what it means to be a woman of Proverbs 31(strength) working with willing hands and looking well to the ways of her household, even while conquering the business world.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed(Proverbs 31:28)
Today, we do exactly that. You have shown your family,
church/youth that through Christ, no barrier is too high and no sacrifice is in vain.
You have turned your struggles into a legacy of perseverance that your child/children will carry forever.
As you look forward to graduate from Otago University with your DBA, know that you have not only earned these prestigious titles but you have also earned our deepest admiration.
May the Lord bless the work of your hands and open doors of favor that will provide for you and your family beyond your wildest dreams.
Congratulations to our incredible DR. MARY JANE FALEMEI MATAFONUAFOTU TAUELANGI KIVALU 👏🏽
We are so, so proud of you! 🙏🙌 📖❤️
Lots of love and blessings to you from your KILIKALI YOUTH 💛
