What are the grabbies?

What's the prize?

The 250 inspirational kiwis who receive the most votes will earn $1 return airfares for themselves and a companion to travel within New Zealand. They can choose to travel to any of our 26 dometic destinations.

Chau lu

Vote for Chau Lu
Our special mom CHAU LU, aged 53 :)

Grew up in Vietnam and migrated to NZ in the 1970s. She has only been on a plane once and that was when she came to NZ. She raised 5 children. She's hard working, funny, loving and to me is amazingly talented because she speaks 5 languages (Vietnamese, English & 3 Chinese dialects).

She is an inspirational mother who is one of a kind. When she goes shopping she likes talking to strangers all the time and stands out a lot of the time. I admire my mom because she's very unique. I hope she is one of the lucky people because she loves a BARGAIN and it's time she step on an Air New Zealand plane!! :D
