Ko tenei te timatanga taku e pa ana ki te mahi nei me timata mai tenei...

Tenei au, te hokai nei i taku tapuwae
Ko te hokai nuku ko te hokai rangi
Ko te hokai a to tipuna a Tane nui a rangi
I pikitia ai ki Rangituhaha ki te Tihi o Manono
I rokohina atu ra ko Io Matuakore Anake
I riro iho ai nga Kete o te Wananga:
Ko te Kete Tu-a-uri
Ko te Kete Tu-atea
Ko te Kete Aronui,
Ka tiritiria ka poupoua ki Papa-tu-a-nuku
Ka puta te ira tangata ki te whaiao
Ki te Aomarama e!

Ah well formalities aside, I just want to support what Barry is trying to do with the HOSW2010 blog by starting my own, in a similar but none the personlized version. I had the honour of attending the last conference and I intend to take part in the next in Hawaii with our whanaunga there in the isles.

So this blog will contain my prep mahi and thoughts about 2010 as I prepare for it, material, presentations, workshops and so on.

So support the kaupapa whanau and get on board!!!

Haumi e hui e taiki e!
