I strongly feel that my purpose is to Teach Te Reo and give our next generation a chance at life. . Through teaching Not only te Reo and history of Aotearoa but giving them the Knowledge they need to pass on to the generation to come. . To save our Reo and have a better fight chance at changing the systemthat affects our people today. .
