Kia Ora my name is Jamal

I’m born and bred in Arataki Mount Maunganui. I’m a Chef by trade. But not currently working as one.

I’m a single father of 2 whom are adults now.

I moved to Australia with them where I lived for 12.5 yrs. My kids still reside in Perth.

I love kids and they bring joy into this world. I have 3 nephews whom I adore, and I treat them as my own, when my sister lets me have them!

I love working for Homes of Hope and it’s the most rewarding job I’ve ever had and I don’t know why I haven’t done something like this before.

My interests are most sports Rugby, Rugby League, Basketball Tennis etc..

And also:

• Cooking
• Eating
• All music

Whānau is important to me.
