This vibrant, well-balanced and outgoing student who's
experience of being selected in 2005 for the Dream Fonotaga project
with The University of Auckland gave him a taste of university
life. Looking ahead, Lameko aspired to do study that would equip
him with expertise to help his New Zealand and Samoan
communities.
While still at school, the Principal of Mangere College noted that
"Lameko strives for excellence in his schoolwork and has the
ability and desire to succeed both academically and in the
workforce. His excellent writing skills won him a prize for
Creative Writing in 2005 whilst an aptitude for Mathematics saw him
excel in Economics."
Lameko's ability to build rapport quickly with those he encounters
was also noted as a strength of his. Telecom's Craig Robertson said
"Lameko has a very personable, natural style and is an easily
likeable young man. The real enthusiasm he displayed when invited
to meet with us was a great indication of his interest in working
with our company and of his approach to opportunities in
general."
Lameko left University to work for Spark NZ and is currently a
Store manager and has been heavily involved with the current
group of Spark Scholarship students.
