When Henry Vaaelua thought of finding a new country to be an
immigrant in, he did his research. He wanted to find a country that would be
good for their goals. He and his family had different reasons for wanting to
move to a new country but he and his wife, Feao, wanted a country where they
can give their children a better life. His research led him to New Zealand and
he has not looked back ever since.
Vaaelua is originally from Samoa. Two years ago, he brought
his entire family with him to New Zealand to live a life that was better than
the one that they were in. When they moved, he had two sons. David was 4 and
Lafoga was 3. Now, he has a daughter named Leafa and is currently one year old
and is already a Kiwi by birth. Vaaelua and the rest of his family are now officially
citizens of the country during the naturalization ceremony which happened just
last December.
The reasons for moving
In an interview, Vaaelua said that he wanted to move to a
better country because he wanted his children to have better lives and not grow
up like they had. When they were still in Samoa, Vaaelua earned by being a cook
with low wages. He also felt like there were not enough choices for him there. He
wanted his children to have good options and could work well and get paid well
also.
Now that they are in New Zealand as immigrants who have
become citizens, Vaaelua says that the standard of living in the country is far
better compared to his home country. He says that being here for two years has
already shown him that the standard of living is definitely better in New
Zealand. He also said that corruption is not as rampant and not as obvious as
it was in his home country. Corruption can also not be easily seen in the
police forces, health care, or even in the law. Vaaelua said that when they
were in Samoa, they had to pay so that people would do the things that he needs
them to do.
Welcoming new citizens
Nigel Bowen is the current mayor of the Timaru District in
New Zealand. He is part of citizenship ceremonies and he said that he considers
being a part of such big events to be the best thing that comes with his job. He
believes that it is a good thing to be able to share the joy that the newest
citizens of New Zealand have. Bowen also said that he thinks that it is a great
thing to welcome the new citizens to the country and he loves seeing the
diversity that is happening because of these ceremonies.
