Our Story
Moemoeā – Our Dream
Ka tū pakari au me tōku kiri, ki te taha o tōku iwi - I will stand proud in my own skin with my own people.
E hāngai ana tēnei whakapuakitanga ki ngā whāinga matua o te kaupapa o Te Awhi Whānau.
E tiro kau ana tēnei whakapuakitanga ki te oranga katoa o te tangata, mai te tinana, te hinengaro tae noa ki tona wairua.
Ko ta Te Awhi Whānau, he hikotahi ki o rātou kiritaki, kia whai waahi ai rātou te tū mana motuhake
The use of the word skin encompasses a person’s whole being ‘te tuakiri o te tangata’. The kaupapa of Te Awhi is reflected in this statement as it’s an outcome sought for both Te Awhi and Tū Whānau.
Te Awhi has as our vision the goal of reconnection and relationships:
Ka tū pakari au me tōku kiri, ki te taha o tōku iwi
I will stand proud in my own skin with my own people
Within our space we will continue to operate within our vision and values of tika, pono and aroha front of mind.
