KOHA NEEDED FOR TARAKAKA URUPA

Kia Ora e te Whanau,
Just sharing this post from Tania Tobin in regards to our urupa Tarakaka.

"As most of us are aware, our urupa Tarakaka is filling up fast. On the right side where the fence line is next to graves (hill slope side heading to town) needs some earth works done in order for the ground to be ready for when its time to move the fence and use the land to bury our loved ones. I believe we do not have a fee like public cemetries do, so there is no money coming in to do this sort of mahi/maintenance.
As with everything there is a cost for this work to be done.
Can you help to reach toward this work being done?
What koha can help get this done? Money towards, this work, machinery & operators, your time."
Anything helps.

On a positive note, the Pamapuria Kura Noho at Te Paatu Marae yesterday was a huge success. It was a fun filled day of waiata, korero, hitori, rongoa maori and whanaungatanga. Just want to mihi to the tumuaki Whaea Cheryl for bringing this kaupapa to the marae. Also to the Kaiako and all the kura whanau running the whare kai. Also a massive shout out to our Paatu whanau- uncle Benny, Aunty Tangihaere, Uncle Rob, our beautiful Nanny Jewels and also to our Ngati Tara whanau- papa John and and whaea Tina-Lee. Last but not least to whaea Mere and Papa Joe from the Tuia Maara Whenua roopu. Such a awesome kaupapa.
Ko te tumanako, poipoia ngā mokopuna ngā rangatira mo apopo.
