Meet Paul from Pukekohe

The Team from Auckland Humanity Project

Paul | Pukekohe

"My wife is from the Philippines, I’ve got one brother who’s married to a Japanese girl, another brother who’s married to a lady who was born in Samoa. So very much a multi-cultural family now. Auckland’s become multi-cultural and I think if we take that onboard and learn from each other’s culture, pick out the best parts and make that our own culture."
