Whānau pani information
Kei ngā tini whanaunga.
Ko karere hotuhotu, ko karere ngaukino nei. Kua hinga tō tātou tōtara tike tike. Ka noho pōhara te whānau pani nei i Pounamu.
Kua riro atu tō tātou taonga a Koro Tahi i te tākiritanga o te ata. Hei ā te pō nei ka nohotahi ko te whānau pani anake i Pounamu. Kia mihia ai, kia tangihia ai, kia mōteateatia ai tō mātou tino koroua.
E rongo ana mātou i te nui o te aroha mai i ngā tōpito o te motu, nei ka mihi me te ngākau whakaiti.
