Every month Te Whare Taonga O Raahui Pookeka Huntly Museum is putting one of their amazing volunteers under the spotlight.
They are interesting, talented and community minded individuals who support Raahui Pookeeka.
March’s volunteer of the month is Sasha Wilson.
Sasha volunteers at the front desk, welcoming visitors and helping out in her own time. Last year Sasha was selected to represent North Island VS South Island for Under 16s Maori Football Aotearoa in Christchurch for a 6 day intensive training camp and tournament, hosted and accommodated at College House Canterbury University by Māori Football Aotearoa.
This year, Sasha has been selected to represent New Zealand and play football in New Caledonia for the U16 Women’s/Kōhine international tournament, for Maori Football Aotearoa in October 2026.
Ka pai Sasha, what an incredible achievement!!
The Museum wants to recognise Sasha as an awesome role model for Raahui Pookeka, rangatahi and for all young women in sport.
If you would like to help support Sasha with sponsorship for her upcoming international football tournament in New Caledonia this October, please contact us admin@huntlymuseum.co.nz Attention: Sasha
Last – but not least, our museum couldn’t function without our amazing volunteers they provide reliable assistance at the front desk, share ideas, energy, governance and we value each and every one of our volunteers greatly.
Our museum relies heavily upon the grants and funding provided by our community partners, government agencies and local businesses to ensure our whare taonga and it’s rich cultural history of Raahui Pookeka remains protected, accessible and available to share for all and the many generations to come.
We have so many exciting events happening this year, including Train Journeys, Matariki Celebrations, and so much more….come and join the fun!
