I recently had the pleasure of meeting Georgie Parry, the founder of The Coromandel Youth Mentors Programme (CYM). Georgie, a young woman who emigrated to New Zealand in August 2019, struck me as a deeply passionate and caring individual dedicated to her community.
They say it takes a village to raise a child – but it also takes a village to raise a mother.
From the moment she discovers she is pregnant to the day her child leaves the nest, it is the community surrounding the family unit that supports and guides them.
I attended a private high school in Auckland at which the students were all white except for one Māori boy called Ben, so obviously there was no whānau room and no te reo Māori taught. Most of us had little experience of Māori culture.
Embark on a journey full of delicious surprises and vibrant melodies at this year’s Whitianga Oceans Festival. It’s not just about the food and drinks; it’s about creating unforgettable memories. But what many don’t know is that the festival is a community owned and run event that has a strong focus on sustainability and the environment.
