My Kind Neighbour nomination

Aroha from Rotorua Central

My kind neighbour is my dad's older brother Manahi who takes pots of home cooked meals and cakes over to my parents house at least once a week. He checks on them and shares his good with them. Uncle is 84 years old and still fit. Uncle has been caring for his wife my aunty for the past 10 years too. I really don't know where he gets all his energy from. As well as looking after his immediate family uncle goes over to the Marae next door and participates in all sorts of events. He really is a trooper for a neighbour! The pic is of my dad his other brother Peter and uncle Manahi on the far right.
