Kauae Kōrero - Celebrating wahine in our community.
What an amazing night, lots of rich kōrero, whakapapa, tears and waiata.
We celebrated 3 wahine toa who serve our community in a number of different roles. Each of them don't do it for the recognition but they do it because it needs to be done and because they are changing the course for themselves, their tamariki and mokopuna.

Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one
Pay heed to the dignity and power of women.
Thank you Photography by Munokoa Ngarimu for capturing these unforgettable moments
Mauri Ora
