As we remember all the wonderful people and organisations that have supported us, worked with us and cheered us on this year, we think of this proverb
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”
We know that there are great challenges in trying to achieve an inclusive Aotearoa for our communities, but also know that there are also great opportunities as well. Opportunities for connection, innovation, community and wellbeing which you’ve all contributed to. So from all of us here at Belong Aotearoa, thank you and we look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
