Coming to NZ

Wesene Mammo from Glen Eden

Exactly 7 years ago July 3 I arrived to NZ after 3days on the road from West Africa. 3 days travel was hell as I left my family, my job and MY COUNTRY & I also didn’t know what was waiting for me in NZ.

Now after all these years, I’m proud to say I have never been proud of choosing NZ as my home. There are things NZ won’t fix for me, but I love NZ and I have never seen beautiful people and country like NZ.
NZ gave me protection when my country couldn’t.

I love NZ and God bless NZ.
