TUKOTAHI
MARAE
As part of the
Kahui Whetu program in collaboration with Rangatahi Maia we were able to execute
the first noho marae for 2013. With awesome support from Maketu Hauora, this allowed
us to be creative and initiate fun filled activities for the 25 youth that
attended. Components of the Kahui Whetu
Program are lessons based on the affects and consequences of Alcohol, Drugs
& smoking. Learning’s were applied through a combination of fun activities.
To end our fab noho we invited whanau to take part in our
Poroporoake with a total of 75 people it was a packed out wharekai... In
celebration, it was with much delight that we were immersed with such inspirational
speakers that brought so much laughter to all whom attended, The Rising star...Te Angihau Williams, (Local
year 13 boy at Te Puke High School) the Motivator...Shane Te Hamua Nikora (Homai
te Pakipaki). Mr Williams spoke to the
kids about following your dreams and inspirations. Mr Shane Te Hamua Nikora spoke about his
challenges in life and encouraged Tamariki to know their whakapapa and be proud
of being Maori. To complement and complete
our awesome evening we were treated with the musically talented Billie Jill
Bird.
Thanks so much for
sharing your gifts with our Rangatahi, Hauora & whanau.
