Aupito Toesulusulu Tofae Su’a William Sio, Minister for Pacific Peoples and Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs. 

The aim of the PCF Youth Leadership Awards is to encourage and reward service leadership to benefit our communities not just in Aotearoa New Zealand, but also the Pacific region. 

This morning we’re joined by Sana Ditta, winner of the PCF Young Pasifika Female of Influence Award Sponsored by the Ministry for Women.

She is a new primary school teacher who is passionate about nurturing children and helping them believe they are capable of anything. Sana feels privileged to be educating the next generation of thinkers and wants them to feel confident in their cultural identity, and she wants to instill children with values that teach them about the importance of giving back.
