38세의 베테랑 엘렌 조안 넬슨 박사가 올해의 뉴질랜드인 더 푸 와카라에 (Te Pou Whakarae of Aotearoa) 어워드에서 올해의 지역 영웅으로 선정된 것은 “[be recognised for]우리 팀이 함께 이룬 일에 대한 진정한 특권”입니다.

두 아이의 엄마인 마나와투는 목요일 밤 오클랜드에서 열린 토니 스트리트와 스콧 모리슨이 주최한 연례 시상식에서 표창을 받았습니다.

그녀는 Stuff에 그날 저녁이 팀이 “우리가 한 일을 축하”할 수 있는 좋은 기회라고 말했습니다.그날 밤 넬슨은 현지의 영웅으로 칭송받았지만, 그녀는 563명의 아프간 난민을 뉴질랜드로 데려오기 위해 들인 노력은 “함께 일한” 수많은 사람들의 협력이었다고 주장합니다.

12년 전 아프가니스탄에서 키위 군인들과 아프가니스탄 현지인들로 구성된 팀에서 복무한 넬슨의 활동은 2021년 아프가니스탄에서 탈레반이 충격적으로 권력을 되찾은 후 시작되었습니다.

다음으로 수백 명의 난민을 위해 통역사를 통한 비자 신청이 이어졌고, 크리스 파슨스와 마틴 드랜스필드라는 두 사람이 넬슨에게 연락을 취했습니다. 그들은 도움을 주겠다고 했고 귀중한 팀원이 되었습니다.

“느리지만 확실하게 우리는 563명을 모두 뉴질랜드로 데려올 수 있었습니다.

넬슨은 가족, 지지자, 팀원, 그리고 그녀가 뉴질랜드로 데려오는 것을 도운 아프가니스탄 난민 한 명과 함께 시상식에 참석했습니다.

그녀는 결선 진출자로 발표되기 전에 이벤트 테이블을 예약해 두었기 때문에 팀과 함께 축하할 수 있는 완벽한 기회라고 생각했습니다.

Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards는 2010년부터 매년 개최되고 있으며, 올해의 커뮤니티, 올해의 젊은 뉴질랜드인, 탐나는 올해의 뉴질랜드인을 포함한 7개 부문에서 각계각층의 뉴질랜드인을 기념합니다.
