Taku Korero Awhina Ture – Nathalie Dibo

Nathalie Dibo, Rangatira me te Hoa Whakahaere o Dibo Law me te Perehitini o te Arab American Bar Association o Ohio (AABAR Ohio), i rongo mo te awhina Ture i a ia e mahi ana i Giffen & Kaminski. 

"Ko nga hoa mahi a Karen Giffen me Kerin Kaminski hei kaimahi i nga Whare Haumanu Tohutohu Poto i nga Rahoroi me te awhina Ture. I tino whai waahi ratou ki te akiaki i a maatau mahi," e kii ana a Nathalie. "Mai i tera wa, kua mahi tuuao ahau ki te awhina Ture. He tino harikoa ahau, he mihi hoki na ratou i whakauru mai ki ahau ki te whakahaere. I kite ahau i te tino pai me te utu o te mahi tuuao me te whakamahi i taku tohu ture hei awhina i etahi atu." 

Ehara i te mea he mea nui ki a Nathalie, he paetahi no te Kareti Ture o te Whare Wananga o Cleveland State, engari ki ona hoa mahi i AABAR Ohio.  

"Ko te nuinga o matou he manene, he tamariki na te manene, he mema ranei o matou whanau he manene. He maha o matou kaore he roia i roto i o matou whanau me era momo tauira hei awhina i a matou i te huarahi, no reira he mea nui ki te whakahoki ki te hunga e hiahia ana ki te awhina me te tohutohu ki te whakatika i o raatau awangawanga ture. 

I kitea e Nathalie he pai te mahi tūao ki nga whare haumanu na te mea ka rongo nga kaihoko i te rongo, i runga i te mohio kei te tino manaaki tetahi ki a raatau ki te whakapau i o raatau wa ki te awhina i a raatau me te maarama ki o raatau raruraru ture. 

"He tino uaua ki te whakarapopoto i roto i etahi hēkona he aha te mea nui o te mahi a te Ture Aid. Engari ki te ngana koe ki te tuu i a koe ki roto i nga hu o te tangata e rapu awhina ana i te Awhina Ture, ki taku whakaaro ka marama koe," te kii a Nathalie. "A, ki te raru koe ki te mahi i tera, me tuku noa koe ki te Whare Wananga Tohutohu Poto, a ki taku whakaaro ka mohio koe he aha te mea nui ki te tuku i to wa." 

“Ko Nathalie he tangata tino kaha ki te tautoko i te Ture Awhina i a ia ano, engari e akiaki ana i etahi atu ki te mahi ano hoki,” e kii ana a Teresa Mathern, he Kaiawhina Whakahaere i te Kaupapa Roia Tuao a te Ture. "Ko Nathalie me nga mema o tana umanga roia me nga mema o te Arab American Bar Association e tuku tohutohu me te tautoko ki o taatau kiritaki ma o taatau whare haumanu tohutohu mariko tae atu ki a maatau whare haumanu tohutohu poto. Waimarie matou ki te whai i tetahi kaiwawao me o hoa tino pai." 

Ko te tumanako a Nathalie ka tautoko etahi atu i nga mahi a te Legal Aid.  

"Ka taea e koe te tuku wa, he koha ranei. Ka taea e koe te korero ki nga tangata mo nga whare haumanu ture. He maha nga huarahi hei tautoko i te Awhina Ture.
