He maimai aroha
This Matariki has not be an easy one with the loss of so many loved ones near and far. Our heartfelt aroha is extended to all our whānau who have lost a loved one over the past months especially the Robinson, Bunker, Simon-Maaka and Kuruwaka whānau.
Wairewa Rūnanga extends our prayers to those who are currently sick that they may soon recover.
Nō reira he aha te hau e pupuri nei, he hau nō te whare a Tūkainanapia, he hau e kawe mai nei te karaka a Tahu Kumeroa, a Tahu Whakairo, ā ko te hau kaitakata tēnei hau kōheki, hitaratara tōku kiri i te rere a tēnei hau, nei te kakau mahara e taki tou mō koutou. Kāore e hoki te aroha e kaikinikini i au, ka timu te tai ki hea? Ā ki Poranui, e rere ana ki te moana. Tāria roa, tē pari mai i waiho mokemoke mai, me he tōroa tīkapa e haroa ana e te Upoko o Tahumataa, tē hoki mai.
