Our Te Ahi Kaa teams have been super busy throughout these school holidays! 🖤❤️

Our Haerenga, Rongoa and Kia Piki teams have been out there spreading awareness around Mana Tuu Mana Ora — supporting rangatahi to understand safe, healthy relationships, recognise what is okay and what isn’t, and know that their voice, choices and boundaries matter.

It’s been an awesome run of kaupapa — from the Tuakau Youth Centre Waananga last week, to our Boys Basketball Waananga on Saturday, and now our Girls Netball Waananga today and tomorrow! 🏀🏐🔥

Across these spaces, we’re weaving Te Ao Maaori, Puuraakau and Tikanga into the mahi, helping make conversations around relationships, respect, mana and wellbeing relevant and meaningful for our rangatahi.

A huge mihi nui to everyone working behind the scenes. The planning, preparation, knowledge-sharing, support and mahi that happens quietly in the background is what helps bring these kaupapa to life.

Couldn’t do this mahi without you all! ❤️🖤

Mana Tuu Mana Ora — because every rangatahi deserves relationships built on respect, safety and mana.

🌿 Te Ahi Kaa | Hononga

Kia Ora koutou,

Our People For Us team had a really positive hononga yesterday at Nga Tai E Rua Paa with the roopu very receptive to our kaupapa and the opportunities for us to work together.

The hui gave our team a chance to koorero openly about how People For Us, can engage with their services, while also looking at how the wider range of Te Ahi Kaa services can support their kiritaki and whaanau. Been able to secure opportunities to work directly with residential homes, with visits beginning next week.

This is about taking the koorero from the hui and putting it into action — building genuine relationships, connecting with kiritaki and whaanau, and creating pathways to the wider Te Ahi Kaa kaupapa.

A big ka pai and well done to Matua Warren for organising this great opportunity and creating the space for these important connections to happen. 🌿

And to Keegan — another outstanding presentation! 👏🏽 Your mahi continues to represent Te Ahi Kaa and our kaupapa so well.

He hononga, he whanaungatanga, he manaaki.
Together, our team continues to build stronger connections and better support for our communities. ❤️

Sad time for our TAK whaanau as we mourn another loss within our wider whaanau. Let’s continue loving and supporting one another through these tough times. 🕊️

This is also a reminder to celebrate and cherish those who are still with us, earthside, while we can. 🌿

Today, we held space to celebrate our beautiful Kia Piki Te Ora Nanny/Aunty Ata on her birthday. 🎂❤️🎉

A true pou who helped bring Te Ahi Kaa to life, and who continues to be a strong, loving presence and the heart of our team. 🔥🌺

The endless mahi you do for our kaumaatua and whaanau is second to none! You fight for what’s right with so much passion—sometimes it’s scary, lol—but we know exactly where it comes from: your deep aroha, commitment and desire to see our people thrive. ❤️

We hope you know how deeply valued and cherished you are, and how grateful we are for your belief in our Pou Arahi Danz and the journey she continues to lead. 🙏🏽❤️

You are a wahine of strength, aroha and wisdom, and a beautiful example of the strong wahine who have supported and uplifted her journey. 💪🏽🌿✨

We appreciate you more than words can say. ❤️🖤🤍🥰

Happy Birthday, Nanny/Aunty Ata — our treasured pou. 🌿✨🎂 Please don’t come for me for posting this 😂🥹😘

Special Day spent with our Kaumaatua ♥️🖤

Nga mihinui to our Rongo/Mirimiri/Kia Piki Team, Matua Howard and Warren 🙏🏽

Tūrei - Te Reo i te Kāinga 🏠

Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo tōku māpihi maurea
My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.

Today is about bringing te reo Māori home.

For us at Te Ahi Kaa, kāinga is where healing starts. Where identity is strengthened. Where our kiritaki and whānau reconnect.

You don’t need to be fluent to make a difference.

Today, try this in your kāinga:
💬 Kōrero with your whānau - even one sentence
📖 Use a new kupu at the dinner table
🤍 Practise a simple phrase together

Every kōrero helps keep our reo alive for the generations to come.

Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori 🖤🤍❤️

Our Vision At Te Ahi Kaa, this is what guides us every day.

We exist so that our clients and their families thrive with their own independence - living lives in control, making decisions for themselves, and shaping their own future.

That connection to identity, to whenua, to future - that's the heart of our work.

This is more than a vision statement. It's our promise.

🌿 Te Wiki o Te Reo Maaori | Whakataukii o Te Raa 🌿

Each day this week, our Te Manu-Taiko Cultural Advisor, Matua Howard Karaka, will share a whakataukii o te raa — a whakaaro for us to reflect on and carry into our mahi.

Today’s whakataukii:

“Whakarongo oku tamariki, ki te ako o koutou papa,
Kaua hoki e whakakahoretia te ako o koutou whaea.”

“Hear, my children, your father’s instructions,
and do not reject your mother’s teaching.”

This whakataukii reminds us of the importance of listening, learning and respecting the knowledge passed down through our whaanau and generations.

It connects strongly to Te Tirohanga o Te Ahi Kaa — Our Vision, where reo, tikanga, tuakiri, whakapono and Mana Motuhake are an important part of how we support kiritaki and their whaanau to thrive.

Matua Howard plays an important role in keeping these values connected to our mahi and supporting us to continue learning and growing in our understanding of te reo Maaori and tikanga.

🗣️ One whakataukii each day.
One whakaaro to carry forward.
One connection to our reo and tuakiri.

Follow along throughout Te Wiki o Te Reo Maaori as Howard shares a new whakataukii each day. 🌿💚

He wero tēnei…….

Seeing as it’s Te Wiki o Te Reo, try ordering Coffee in Te Reo Māori ☕

Next time you get your daily coffee fix, try ordering in te reo Māori! Here's how you can say it:

👩‍🍳 "He kapu kawhe māku, tēnā koa." (I’d like a cup of coffee, please.)
Or if you want to get fancy:
"He kapu kaputī, tēnā koa." (I'd like a cup of tea, please.)

It’s a great way to practice te reo and brighten someone’s day! Give it a go! Karawhuia!🌿
