I have always struggled to learn the reo. I currently work in a maori kaupapa mental health organisation where karakia, himene, moteatea and te reo are done/spoken daily. Knowing and learning everyday brings me strength as a maori wahine and makes me proud of my heritage. My daughter attends a kura where the reo is spoken in both the full immersion and the rumaki reo classes. For me to learn and be strengthened is one of the best gifts I can pass down to my daughter. I am still learning but I am enjoying the path I am on and if I can be strengthened imagine what it could do to others.
