"He uri koe nō tuawhakarere

He tupuna koe mō anamata"

He kohinga kai, he kohinga kōrero a Huamārama e whakatairanga ana i te rangatiratanga i roto i te kāinga, i roto i te whānau. He rauemi hoki hei whakanui i te pitomata o te whenua, o te tangata kia manaaki i tō tātou ao.

Mehemea e hiahia ana ki te whāngai i te whānau ki ngā hua o Nuku, anei a Huamārama e whakaoho ana i ō tātou iho pūmanawa e rangatira ai te tiaki me te manaaki i tēnei ao tūroa, otirā i a tātou anō.

Huamārama is truly a taonga - a pukapuka full of tohutao, karakia, and information to support living in harmony with the natural environment. It is the first in a series of resources that are created to help whānau with their own wellbeing and resilience building goals.
