We are inviting expressions of interest from Makaawhio members who would like to participate in our next hīkoi Whakatipu Waitai. At this stage, no date has been set as we need a threshold number of participants.
If you are considering this amazing opportunity to reconnect with the southernmost part of our rohe and our kāinga there are a couple of criteria that you need to be aware of.
Please contact the office to add your name and contact details to the list. If we end up with a surplus of participants, they will be shortlisted for the next hīkoi.
Criteria:
- You will be required to make a contribution towardsthe costs of the hīkoi
- You need to be fit enough to walk the 17kms of relatively-flat formed tracks
- You need to be willing to fully participate in all aspects of the hīkoi
- Rakatahi need to be old enough to be self-sufficient and self-managing.
