It has been about a month since we kicked off this kaupapa with our rangatahi/tamariki together as a whanau. We are a collective whanau from the South Side of Mangere to the Central Suburbs of Onehunga
IYKYK!
The heart ache, The Anger, The Sadness our whanau endured seeing our tamariki/niece/nephew/moko/ run the streets like wild thorn berries, JUST LIKE WE ONCE DID, Uncontrollable and No ears, some were clueless to what our tamariki were up to, some were at their breaking point. Too embarrassed to reach out to whanau because you wanted that picture perfect whanau and reaching out meant you failed as a parent and as a human 🥹 sad but true!!
We cant deny our emotions nor could we hide them, but what we could do was change the mindsets of us as parents and as the guardians of our tamariki, change it up a notch. Start investing more of our time into our tamariki, empowering their mindsets to the greater things in life, learning and progressing as a whanau together as ONE!
We are so so PROUD of the progress of all our Tamriki/Rangatahi as they flourish into the human beings they were raised to be! This is only the start for our Tamariki. They were born into this world with a purpose in life, every single one of Us!
To the Whanau and the Cuzzies of all our Tamariki’s who are bearing the journey ahead as a whanau to see our Rangatahi progress and flourish into the natural born leaders their blood runs deep into their veins produce and to be by their side is more than putea can every be replaced with. Our Whanau and Ancestors will be proud of us! Thankyou to our Whanau
They are safe, They are home, They are Loved ❤️ They are Our Next Generation ❤️ They are our leaders to teach for their Next Generation ❤️ Keep it going 💯
