Poroaki for Brya and Thomas

So much aroha shared today at the poroaki for Thomas Shorrock and Brya Roussel.

While they have reached the end of their mahi at Tokomaru Research Centre, today we acknowledged their efforts, their wairua and energy, and their unwavering support for Ngāti Rārua whānau and the goals of the Rūnanga.

We will miss them, but we know when they return to us they will have even more knowledge and skills to share after the next stages of their journeys.  

Kia atawhaitia i te tangata i muri i ahau, kia pai te noho.
