Nga mihi mahana kia koutou, I wanted to briefly share my appreciation for your kaupapa. Its great just to get on and shoot the breeze with everyone. People are either way above my level of Te Reo or just beginning. I love the opportunity of sharing. Kia kaha tonu. Arohatia to tatou Reo, Me korero, ahakoa te korero.

For much of my early life especially, I was penalised for being Maori and successful. Secondary teachers colonised me right out of the education system so I dropped out and went to work. Yep I taught them, NOT! I never gave up on myself, picked up my reo in my fifties, graduated from Social Work in my 60s and intertwine all that I am today and tomorrow. My reo continues to grow each day. . .
