We were pleased to partner with Ngati Kahu Social & Health Services ,Rangaunu Sports Club and Enviro Schools to host our annual Kiwi Can Waka Ama regatta at Lake Ngatu, Awanui today.

About 64 students from Te Hapua, Ngataki, Kaingaroa, Oruaiti and Totara North participated in the regatta and the land based activities run by Morag, Shoda and Zoey from Enviro Schools.

It was a full on day, where our tamariki experienced the thrill of paddling a double hulled waka and mixed this up with making seeds balls! There will be a few tired tamariki tonight! Special thanks to Kylie, Bonnie, Nyrelle, Jessie, Hilda and the or making this happen.

We also wish to thank our sponsors the AK Franks Charitable Trust and the Mangonui Lions Club for their generous support.

We want to thank the Bay of Islands -Whangaroa Community Board and the Te Hiku Community Board for their continued support in helping our leaders deliver Kiwi Can to eleven primary schools in the Far North.
Sometimes our leaders travel distances of over 300 km a day to deliver Kiwi Can to such schools like Te Hapua and Ngataki. This couldn't be done with your support.
Thank you for valuing the mahi we do.
