This past Thursday was not a farewell, it was a “see you around” and a “can’t wait to grab coffee” Dr Claire, because although you must get your well deserved rest. We know your incredible mahi continues.
Thank you Dr Claire, truly, for all the incredible and extremely hard mahi you did during these past years.
We grew, because you told us we could, we gave it all to our mahi, because you did just exactly that, your example was a footprint we could follow, and your aroha told every single mokopuna and rangatahi “you got this, keep going.”
Such hard shoes to fill in, and we know that without such an amazing team at Mana Mokopuna it also would not have been possible. What a wonderful whānau you’ve got, thank you Mana Mokopuna Kaimahi for everything you all collectively achieved and for throwing Dr Claire a farewell deserving of her passion and dedication at such special place of mana Wāhine.
We will continue reaching out and hopefully keep our wonderful relationship created through two amazing Rangatira, Dr Claire and Matt Renata who have both supported our development and encouraged our mahi.
Ngā mihi Mana Mokopuna Kaimahi and Dr Clare 🩵💚
Dr Claire, your spot is engraved in our hearts forever, and the seed of love and care for our children has been planted deeply in rich soil. 🌱✨
