The Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our local east Auckland community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them if possible to chrish@times.co.nz.
Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.
The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website.
The latest recipient is Pragna Patel.
She’s nominated by Bruce Kendall, who writes: “Pragna has been involved with organising community event stream clean-ups, general rubbish clean-ups, and plantings for a number of years.
“It seems like if I go to an environmental event, she’s there. She’s also been teaching kids to sail.
“Her passion for the environment and young people is clearly evident in her actions.
“She wasn’t born in New Zealand and she clearly loves the New Zealand environment. I find her inspirational.”
