Hari Huritau 🎂
Words could never express the love and the endless appreciation I have for all of you at the radio. Sister , bro I freaken love you bro.
You helped push me towards te ao Māori, while studying under alongside the OGs and big brotha ... This year i begin Te Pīnakitanga under Te Whare Wananga O Aotearoa thanks to you all whanau.
Without Moana Radio, my business .training.nz would not have had the start up it did, and got me out helping our Whanau with the kaupapa with help from and Te Puni Kōkiri. This is but a snippet of how you helped my business grow, not to mention our PT sessions with the crew, Fridays, and segments on air.
My ♥ started at Te Poipoia te Mokopuna kōhanga reo because of you, and rolls of to te Kura Kaupapa o Matapihi Tomorrow.... His reo will far exceed his mother's and I and we thank you again.
Along this journey have come many other beautiful people, groups, opportunities.. I have to mention Tūtara Kauika ki Rangataua my veery 1st Kapahaka roopu I've trained... Nōku te hōnore 🙏🏾 and my brotha
🌊 Moana Radio... You gave me opportunity at the beginning when many others said NO. Instead of colleagues, and friends, you gave me a whanau, cuzzies, brothaz, sistaz and a place to call home 🏡.
Nōku te whiwhi. Kore aku mihi kua oti, kore aku aroha kia koutou e mutu.
