Re: Letters on the United Nations Global Migration Compact printed in The Weekend Sun, December 21 and 28 editions.

I'd like to put up a bloke called Sanjay as New Zealander of the Year. He's obviously a bloody good Dad.

Sanjay's the university-educated Turangi dairy owner who has been in the media. He uplifted his family from New Delhi, India, and brought to them to New Zealand to give his kids a chance.

Aim high and study hard is his ethos. As well as serving his community.

The man has been rewarded. His son has just graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in human resources. He's now working for a bank in Wellington.

His daughter is in Year 13 and captain of her school's debating team.

Small town New Zealand has done this family no harm. And I'm proud New Zealand and Turangi was able to give this migrant family a chance.

I Goldsmith, Otumoetai.
