OUR KAUPAPA:
Following the success of our Mokopuna Day, our Marae Trustees have heard the voices of our people. Many want to continue contributing to our two Marae on a regular basis no matter where we are in the world. Our 100 Club is designed specifically with this in mind where collectively we can ensure our Marae continues to stand the test of time for present and future generations to come.
Ensuring the pumanawa and mauri of our Tipuna Whare - Wharepakau, Eripitana and Hinenuitepo me ona Wharekai continues to sustain us, as we sustain each other, is paramount to this success. Keeping the lights on for our Kaumatua and Kuia to welcome our manuhiri, providing fresh running water for our mokopuna to drink, supplying gas and electricity for our ringawera in the kitchen to manaaki our manuhiri with kai, putea to keep the tinana of our Tipuna in a safe and working condition where we do not have the skills ourselves and putea to go towards he hoa mo Hinenuitepo (he Wharekai hou) are just some of the things our 100 Club will contribute significantly to seeing our Ngatiwharetanga - thrive, stand and endure the test of time! For more information on how our 100 Club works and how you can jump on our waka rererangi, please see below. Email addresses of organisers and bank details to secure your number/s are all there. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE (WHANAU, IN LAWS & OUT LAWS, HOARIRI ETC) ON YOUR ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND MAY WISH TO GET ON BOARD, PLEASE INVITE THEM TO JOIN OUR PAGE - CONNECTING 100 CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR KAUPAPA IS OUR GOAL. Heoi ano, in the words of our Tipuna: Nau te rourou naku te rourou ka ora ai te iwi o Ngati Whare whanui. With your koha, and with my koha we, Ngati Whare and our manuhiri, will be well and thrive!
