In the past, I have always celebrated by sharing Soup and telling stories with tamariki I worked with. This year I participated in a Noho Marae, this week, at Taniwha Marae, with my workplace, Kirikiriroa Family Services Trust. We shared about Matariki and learnt about the stars and their stories. We had wonderful food and company and sang and learnt new Waiata. I learnt so much more about this time of the year and would like to continue to gain more knowledge and understanding. Next year I will attend more Community Events and involve my whānau more in the Celebrations.
