Ben Makisi and Daphne Collins are among New Zealand international pride and joy when it comes to talent in the Opera World. They are internationally acclaimed. Not surprisingly, they have perform at some of the most prestigious and significant functions with world leaders including our own government leaders such as former Prime Minister Helen Clark. And wouldn’t you know it, Makisi and Collins just happen to be of Tongan/Samoan (Ben) and Samoan descent (Daphne).

This notice was sent to pacificEyeWitness.org, so please note: we are not involved with this fundraiser so please contact The Edge for more information. There have been many, many fundraisers for the Pacific Tsunami over the past two months. We are, unfortunately, unable to post on all those events.

So if you are in Auckland, or looking for a reason to fly over, this is it.
