International Day of Older Persons celebration at Onehunga Oranga Hub

This week we celebrated International Day of Older Persons with our community. Our diverse communities came together and proudly celebrated age, culture, connection and joy.

Each community shared wonderful performances, showcasing their culture and talents. Our oldest performer was an amazing 92 years old! Their hair may be grey, but their dance moves were as energetic as any young person’s!

What was especially moving was seeing everyone dancing along and joining in during each other’s performances, even though they didn’t speak the same language. Music, movement and smiles truly brought everyone together.

A huge shout out to Mo'uilelei Toulekeleka Group and Fatafata Mafana O Aotearoa, Shanti Niwas Charitable Trust and Kiwi Chinese Association and make the event such a warm and memorable occasion!

What’s the dish that takes you straight back to someone’s kitchen? ❤️

Maybe it’s the meal your mum made every Sunday, a recipe your grandparents taught you, or something you cook whenever the family gets together. We’d love to hear about it.

For the Heritage Festival, Onehunga Ōranga Hub is creating What Fills Our Plate: Onehunga Stories and Recipes. It will be a recipe book made by our community, for our community, full of the dishes and memories that make Onehunga feel like home.

You don’t need to be an expert cook or have a perfectly written recipe. Just share a dish that means something to you and tell us why. Local businesses are welcome to share their signature dishes too.

Come and have a chat at our project launch:
📅 Thursday 1 October, 4pm–6pm
📍 Onehunga Library foyer, 85 Church Street

You can also email your recipe, story and any photos to [email protected]. If it’s easier to tell your story out loud, we’ll listen and help write it down.

In this photo, Cindy is sharing the community how to make savoury beef mince pancake. Delicious!

Whose recipe would you love to see in a Onehunga community cookbook? Tag them or share this post with them. 🍽️
