Ngāti Waewae were very proud to send six of our awesome rangatahi to Ōtākou Marae for Kura reo Rakatahi and then to Puketeraki Marae for Manawa Hou to finish off the school holidays.
Our rangatahi had such a fantastic time and we would like to give special thanks to the hau kāinga of Ōtākou Marae and Puketeraki Marae for welcoming our rangatahi in your whare and making them feel so at home. Also to Kotahi Mano Kāika and Ngāi Tahu for putting together such a fabulous wānanga for our rangatahi. They are blessed and lucky to be able to be part of such great wānanga, and very thankful for the opportunities given to them. Also we would like to give thanks to Le-Ann Campbell aka Missy aka camp mother, for driving our rangatahi down to both marae to wānanga.
