Puataunofo Manukau Pilot Project

Tribute to Kalafitoni Pole

The Puataunofo Manukau Project team would like to pay a special Tribute to the late Kalafitoni 'Toni' Pole who was a staff member of the Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs.

Kalafitoni Pole was a Regional Advisor for the Ministry and was given the health portfolio to coordinate and facilitate health policies and projects including the Puataunofo Manukau Project.

Toni provided support to the Puataunofo Manukau Project team members and was instrumental in the early development and planning of the project.

Toni was hardworking and a friendly giant of a man.

Toni will always be remembered for his unwavering contributions to progressing health and safety practices for Pacific peoples in Auckland.
