Tēnā koe Friend --

Tērā te hau matangi e kōripo ana i te whanaketanga o Mahuru, o Koanga e matamata mai ana.  Nō reira, e tangi tonu ana ki ngā mate, a, e mihi ana ki a tātau katoa te kaupapa tangata e noho motu ana i ngā kāinga.

MAHURU MĀORI

Koianei te tau tuatahi e mārewa ake ana tēnei kaupapa i te wā o Mahuru, i ngā tau ki muri i whakanuia i te marama o Hepetema.

The 7^th  of September, signaeled the Whiro moon phase which is the beginning of the Māori month, Mahuru.  So Mahuru Māori started 2 days ago and even if you only know how to say ‘kia ora’ give it a go and you can check out more here.

HE ORANGA MAU ROA – VACCINATE YOU AND YOUR WHĀNAU

Whānau, there’s a heap of noise out there but here’s the thing, enough of us aren’t getting vaccinated and our top Māori medical experts are encouraging us to get vaccinated, you can read more here. 

We are encouraging you to get vaccinated and our Māori Health and Whānau Ora providers are doing an amazing job to make it easy for you to walk in and get it done.  Let’s do this for us and at the same time, show David Seymour that his silly antics just aren’t good enough, because we deserve better.

Me and my boy went to Te Kōhao Health at Kirikiriroa Marae in Hamilton a couple of weeks ago.  The music was awesome, I didn’t realise it was over as I was having a good kōrero in te reo with the nurse.  Behind the mask, I asked the nurse his name and when he responded, I said, you must be a whanaunga and he said, yes uncle I was online with you yesterday for karakia! 

So get out there and get vaccinated because in our history, vaccinations have helped our people to survive through all the health challenges that we have faced in the last 100 years.

Take care and kōrero Māori e hoa mā

Arohanui
