Nā mātau anō te whiwhi, i tae mai tā tātau Atipīhopa, ki te hiki, me te hāpai ake i ngā whānau e pōkaikaha ana i tēnei moka.

I tukua mai e ia ngā kai maha hei takoha ki te marae, otirā ki ngā whānau maha tonu, tōtika tana haere ki te āwhina ki te pīra parareka me te kōrero ngātahi me tā tātau Nanny a nanny Katerina Mill

Kei te mihi hoki ki a Ven Merekaraka Te Whitu nāna anō i whātoro mai te ringa ki a mātau, ka hiki ake, ka hiiri ki ngā auē a te iwi, i tukuna mai he kai, he mea whakapaipai anō hoki, e te māreikura whakatere kaupapa ko koe kei te tihi o ngā whakaaro, te haonga o te ngākau.

Me ngā mihi anō rā ki te whanaunga a Bardia Matiu nāna anō te kaupapa nei i tautoko ki tana taha Rangihuna o konei, ki Te Whānau a Hunaara, kei te mihi e te whanaunga.

Otirā ngā whānau e noho tahanga ana ki tēnā moka o te Rohe Pōtae o Motakaoa, ki Wharekahika, me Horoera, me te huhua noa atu.

Kei te mihi, kei te mihi, "Kei roto te pōuri te mārama e whiti ana"

I tua atu i te tū ātea he marino - Beyond every storm there is calm.

Nā mātau ngā minita o Te Pāriha o Kawakawa ❤️
