Ayla Dellaway | Western Bay of Plenty
This award recognises outstanding commitment and continued success amongst former Project K graduates who have left school and continued on the values of Project K into their career and lives.
The judges said, "Ayla continues to astound all those who meet her. Her ability to overcome her childhood and not only become a wonderful human being and mother but also contribute significantly over a number of years to those in need is extraordinary. She is on her way to being one of the great New Zealanders."

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
