Some of our trustees and representatives took a hikoi during their January hui to help officially open the refurbished Freeman’s cottage. Situated in the DOC carpark at Tuhuroa (Farewell Spit), the name bestowed by Manawhenua Ki Mohua is Te Whare Whakatā (place of rest).
Ripeka Hokamau was the original nurse when Te Hauora o Ngāti Rārua was founded. At the end of June we farewelled Ripeka as Pou Oranga. Her legacy is one grounded in manaakitanga and advocacy for whānau health.
