A young woman, who believes “women can do just about anything men can” has achieved a rare first.
General Manager, Cameron Penfold, presented the cheque to Sr. Malia Aloisia, of the Little Sisters of the Poor before the residents of Mapuifagalele.
“I’m proud to be presenting this cheque on behalf of the staff and management of Westpac today. The Mapuifagalele Home of the Aged is an integral part of our community and we’re proud to support it,” Mr. Penfold said.
The General Manager told the residents of Mapuifagalele and the representatives of the Little Sisters of the Poor that the donation of $3,000.00 was made possible by Fred Wetzell, of A.C.P Company Ltd.

“Back in June when we hosted a cocktail for the Manu Samoa and the Tonga game, we auctioned a Manu Samoa Jersey and a Tonga Jersey – and Mr. Wetzell won the auction for both jerseys. Fred told me that night that he was really happy that the proceeds from the auction are being donated to Mapuifagalele,” said Mr. Penfold.
Sr Malia Aloisia thanked Mr. Penfold and Westpac for its continuous support of the residents of Mapuifagalele.
“Thank you Cameron for your donation this morning,” she said.
“This is not the first time Westpac has been kind to us. We have a plantation because of the Bank, last year the Westpac staff and few staff refurbished our little fale at the back of our property and the previous year Westpac put up a Christmas tree with gifts for all the residents of Mapuifagalele and the staff sang Christmas carols.”
Mr. Penfold said that he is proud of Westpac’s initiative to always give back to the community.
