Rachel - Auckland

I am a kaiako and a new māma. I have been on my Te reo māori journey since 2016 falling in love with the language and the culture. I have done some study through TWoA and plan to do more. It was two kaiako from my previous school that kicked this off for me both amazing wahine. Our son is Māori and I think it’s important for him to know his history, culture and language. Be proud of who he is and his name. It’s for my son and it’s for our tamariki of New Zealand.
