What a way to start the year!

Last week a few of the Rangatahi Voices crew got the opportunity to head down Waikato Te Awa on the Tira Hoe waka voyaging experience. It was such a beautiful and unique way to experience the rich landscape of the Waikato.

Hope that you have had a great start to 2024 ✨🌿
