[Dori]

Hi everyone!
Hayley's official website has been updated with some very exciting news!! Take a look!

31 Jan 2008
First NZ inspired / young achiever winners named in London
Hayley Westenra, 20, has been named the winner of the Global Kiwis Young Achiever Award.


The award was established to recognise a young Kiwi under the age of 35, at the start of their career, who has made remarkable achievements in their field of endeavour in the UK achieving recognition on at least a national scale if not on a European or global scale.


NZ Society incoming president Helen Campbell said Westenra's name was synonymous with New Zealand and she is recognised as one of the most exciting young voices globally.


``Hayley has participated in significant New Zealand sporting and cultural events here in the UK and on the international stage and we are delighted to have such a worthy young achiever of this new award."


Both awards will be presented at the annual New Zealand Society's Waitangi Day Dinner at the Drapers' Hall in London on February 8.

!!!CONGRATULATIONS HAYLEY!!!

Thanks for this news, Dori. But there is a thread about this latest accomplishment for Hayley HERE, on the "Celebrations" board. I'll lock this thread so we don't duplicate info.
