Ko ta te tuhituhi nei te whakawhānui i to tātou whakatauaki - Ma te mokopuna, mo te mokopuna, ka eke - hei korero tirohanga whānui mo tātou o te Hōnonga o Ngā Awa.

 

I roto i te wananga tuatahi na ratou o Te Whare Hukahuka i arataki mo tātou, ko te tino ngako te kimi, te rangahau i te huarahi, te rautaki ranei e tika ana mo to tatou kāhui kia eke ia ki tana i hiahia ai.

 

He mean nui tonu tenei ta te rautaki me ona wahanga me te tirohanga whānui hoki, hei whakaaturia ki a tatou ngā hua e hiahia ai.

 

I tohungia tatou e te Whare Hukahuka te whakamahi i tenei kiwaha: Ka taea e tatou... penei ki tenei tauira - Ka taea e tatou te tunga hei rarama tumanako hei rarama tonuitanga mo to tatou iti (te tirohanga whānui o Tuaropaki)

 

E whai ake nei he korero tirohanga whānui mo tatou te kahui, mai i nga korero o runga:

 

Ka hanga e tātou he huarahi

mo a tatou mokopuna

kia tuhonotia ratou

ki nga tonuitanga o te ao whānui

otira ki te ao o nga matua tupuna

Ma te mokopuna, mo te mokopuna, ka eke

The aim of this text is to embody our whakatauaki- Ma te mokopuna, mo te mokopuna, ka eke - in a vision statement for us of Te Hōnonga o Ngā Awa.

 

In the first workshop undertaken for us by Te Whare Hukahuka, the essential aim was to explore strategy processes, to identify the pathway which would best serve our kāhui to achieve its vision.

 

It is crucial that with the strategy and its components along with the vision, what we intend to achieve is clearly evident.

 

The Ware Hukahuka advised us to work at this formula: We will... like in this example - We will act as a beacon of hope and prosperity for our people (the vision for Tuaropaki).

 

Following is a vision statement for us the kāhui, which takes into account all of the above:

 

We will create a pathway

for our grandchildren

that connects them

to the benefits of the global world

and to the world of their ancestors

by the grandhild, for the grandchild,

to fulfill his/her potential.
