Fabulous to see everyone back again this year 2015: Papa Te Kai, Whaea Viv, Papa Joe, Kylie, Marcia, Rena, Michelle,Whaea Lil, Whaea Winnie & Moko & Kura
It was wonderful to hear how everyone's holidays went. Everyone enjoyed being with their whanau and completing a range of overdue tasks. All of us were feeling blessed with either the arrival of new moko, completing renovations, having moko visit or just being able to use the Fishing Torpedo that they never get time for - fabulous holiday.
TE RARAWA KAIWHARE - RANGATAHI NOHO TAIAO 2015
I shared how we had the Te Rarawa Kaiwhare Rangatahi noho Taiao at Ohaki Marae in Ahipara and the some of the fabulous korero and rich history that was shared with the rangatahi. Our haerenga to Te Ahu, Tai Tokerau Honey, Whangape, different guest speakers including a wide range of scientists, Takutaimoana Komiti, as well as slam poetry. The tamariki were priviledge to work with such a wide range of talented people.

FUNDRAISING FOR CEBU 2016
"Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu"
Moving forward this year we will be looking at ways to get funding for our roopu to prepare to head to Cebu in 2016. Whaea Viv has an account that we can start setting up AP's for those who would like to start contributing. Whaea Viv met with Teresa re: last years fundraiser putea which will be coming in soon to the account.
Teresa will be working with youth on tourism with Taipa Kura, we need to start promoting tourism and Te Reo (a present and future commodity languge) with our tamariki as a possible career pathway choice - there is such huge potential for tourism development in the Far North and with the shortage of Te Reo Maori teachers there will always be work for them. The Taipa students will also attend noho with the rest of our roopu when they are held throughout the year.
