I facilitate Health and Safety courses. During lockdown we have been doing this by Zoom. I decided to introduce myself as the kaiwhakaako by using my pepeha. I know that I should go this usually rather than sometimes, always even!!

Ko Tarawera te maunga
Ko Horomanga te awa
Ko Svenska te Iwi
Ko Christopher tōku ingoa
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.
