Gary | Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2022

It WAS my intention to memorise my pepeha. However while I made progress, I didn't feel confident enough to say this when I visited a marae last Friday (30th September). HOWEVER, on this same occasion I did share this whakatauki with tangata whenua and manahiri:

I te timatanga ko te hiahia

Mai i te hiahia ko te mahara

Mai i te mahara ko te whakaaro

Kā puta te kaupapa nei

I read this to my former boss at Tamaki Health who had the vision and was the driving force behind establishing their Wellness Support Team.
