Mate Karona Pānui #2 Noho Pae 2 & 3

Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa. Let us keep close together, not divided.

Our whakapapa and hapori are more important than ever in difficult times like these. It has been a challenging lockdown period, but we are past halfway through level 3 lockdown in Tamaki and level 2 lockdown for the rest of Aotearoa. Check on your loved ones, especially our kui and kaumatua, those living alone and sole parents.

We are mindful of the information overload during level changes, this is a lockdown check in and update of essential kai, and income support, Covid cancelled and postponed industry events, and Covid industry updates. Our regular pānui next week will contain funding rounds, due dates, and industry events.

Art work - ‘Kainga Tokolahi’ by mother and daughter, Sulieti Fieme’a Burrows and Tui Emma Gillies.
