Sue-Anne is a Singapore-qualified lawyer, homemaker and mother of 2 school-going children. She is an active volunteer member with the Multi-Ethnic Collective (MEC). The MEC is a community advisory group working alongside government partners, namely Immigration NZ, Office of Ethnic Communities, NZ Police, Whangarei District Council and Multicultural Whangarei.
Sue-Anne aims to share a bit of her journey settling into Whangarei as an ethnic minority, her challenges in adjusting culturally and how she has developed her perspective and attitude to now be able to call Whangarei home.

This is getting quite addictive! We love our Mahjong and we think you should try it too. Join us for a game of strategy and wit, and experience this old traditional game of Mahjong.
Mahjong is a strategy game that originated in China. It's similar to rummy, but it's played with tiles instead of cards. Generally, you play with 4 people. The goal is to form 4 sets or sequences and a pair, creating Mahjong!
Bring your thinking hats :)
