Kia ora

I am apart of a 'community initiative' called Kai Avondale. Amongst a few community projects we additionally provide a free weekly meal called - Feed the Streets - every Saturday for whānau. Its a chance to create whanaungatanga and share a hot meal with our community.

On this night we celebrated Mātāriki with almost 100 people. We served a boil up with dough boys, kūmara and fry bread.

One of our Avondale 'matua' gave a breif explanation of what Mātāriki is and what it means and then blessed our kai with a karakia.

It was a beautiful night 😊
