Ka aroha whanau. We know this is very late, but are unable to host our kaumatua lunch this week. We will see you again next month. Ka nui te aroha ki a koutou, ki a tatou.

He mihi nui ki te hunga i tautoko i tō mātau mākete pō o Puanga. Ahakoa te makariri, he pō pai rawa atu tērā! What an amazing evening for our Whanganui Community. All the stall holders had the most fantastic kai; products; and services - appreciation to you all. Mostly to everyone else that braved the cold to come out and share this evening together. Whether it was to get that bespoke item you knew would be there; to partake in the diversity of cuisine; to support our tamariki from Tawhero and their new pakihi; to learn more about our local services (Hippy and Women's Refuge) or simply to sit around the fire and enjoy the evening - thank you all for making it the success that it was. With all the excitement we forgot to get photos, so am sharing a few that we were able to get. Please feel free to either share your pictures or videos here OR tag us in if you are sharing them online. Again - he mihi miharo rawa ki a kautau, ki a tātau te whānau o Tupoho :-)

Morena e te whanau,

Thursday is creeping up fast and we're excited to shine a light on todays tauira, Porter and her pakihi Rongoa.

Porter puts a lot of heart into what she does. Her pakihi is inspired by her whanau, everyday life, and the mahi of her Papa all woven into her work in a really special way.

If you're down here make sure you come and support our girl!
