🐞🪲🐝🕷 "PUANGA KAI RAU" 🥦🥬🫛🫑🥕🧄

The whakataukī "Puanga kai rau" connects the celebration of Puanga and Matariki to the rewards of months of effort. As the days shorten and winter arrives, this proverb reflects a period of gratitude, gathering, and sharing the kai (food) that was grown, foraged, and preserved for the long nights of takurua (winter).

🥔🥦🌶🫑"HE KAI KEI AKU RINGA"🫑🌶🥦🥔

"There is food at the end of my hands."

This whakatauki speaks to self-sufficiency, resilience, and capability. It means that through your own efforts and labour, you can feed your whānau and create abundance.

OHOATA- The 3rd night of the lunar month. Get up and get moving 🌘🌟💪

TINANA- Get your mahi done early so you don't procrastinate later on ⏰️👩‍🌾🏋

HINENGARO- Rise and awaken early, use this momentum to get your mahi done 🌌🤹‍♀️

WAIRUA- The first bit of light we see in the marama, take that light and do something positive with it. 🧘‍♀️📚🦋

TAIAO- An ideal time for any maara projects with seedlings 🌱 🪺🪴

We spent a wonderful morning at the maara with Aranga School tamariki and whānau, and Donnellys Crossing Community Group reps. Building our maara community networks and collective knowledge through sharing, experimenting, creativity, culture and reciprocity.
Planting seeds into our community 🐞🐌🐟🐝

🍠 "Kāhore te kūmara e kōrero mō tōna ake reka"

🍠 The kūmara does not speak of its own sweetness.

🍠 This proverb emphasises the value of being humble, encouraging people to let their actions and achievements speak for themselves rather than bragging and being boastful.

🍠 Acknowledging those whānau that quietly work behind the scenes to make community living better and easier for us all. Ngā mihi nui.

🍠 Maara ora

🌿 "Kohikohi ngā kākano, whakaritea te pārekereke, kia puāwai ngā hua"

🌿 "Gather the seeds, prepare the seedbed carefully, and you will be gifted with abundance of food."

🌿 This whakatauki emphasises that careful preparation, effort, and creating a strong foundation are crucial for future success.

🌿 As we prepare as a community to hunker down for the weekend we encourage our whānau to plan ahead now for what may be a damaging and significant cyclone.

🌿 Each time we've faced an adverse event we've worked hard to become more prepared, more resourced, more coordinated and more resilient.

🌿 Community hui held this morning to connect and discuss our capacity and capability, and to confirm our community's plans for preparation, response and recovery.

✨️✨️✨️Kia haumaru tātou katoa. ✨️✨️✨️
