Te wiki o te reo maori – Ra tuatoru

By / 7 July 2011

Tena Koutou, Social Justice Whanau -

Karanga – Naumai hoki mai ki te ra tuatoru – Welcome back to day three of our program.

Karakia – Nga inoi me nga whakawhetai ki te atua mona nei e manaki nei ia tatou i enei ra makariri – prayers of thanks for the many blessings upon us all as we experience the cold winter days.

Mihimihi - Nga mihi hoki ki nga whanau e atawhai ana e tiaki ana o ratou tamariki me o ratou mokopuna maha. – Acknowledgements to parents, grandparents and extended families who care for, support and love their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Hariru & Hongi – Pa mai to ihu ki ahau kia whakakotahi ai tenei mea te ha me te mauri, hei aha? kia pai ai te noho o te hinengaro me te wairua hei mahi whakatupuranga- share with me  your breath of life that  gathers deep within, why I ask? because it stirs my core and encourages the mind and spirit to join forces and become signs of hope.

Kaupapa O te ra – To matou kaupapa i tenei ra ko te Awhi whanau –  Our Kaupapa today is about caring for our families

He aha ke ki to mahara, nga mahi whakatupuranga i waihotia i ou nei matua kia koe i te wa tamariki tonu ana koe?

What do you remember about the way your parents raised you?

I kite koe tenei mea te manaki, i pa mai te aroha kia koe?

Did you see caring practices being offered, or did you feel love?

Whiriwhiringa whakaro – Ko te tumanako o te Awhi Whanau kia tika ai te tiaki, te manaki, te atawhai i o matou tamariki mokopuna, rangatahi kuia, kaumatua,wahine me nga tane hoki.

The principle of caring for children, grandchildren,youth the elderly, women and men is by applying and regularly practicing careful oversight, generous and firm boundaries, affirmative communication within a caring and loving environment.

Korero whakamutunga –  I te tika ai te tiaki o matou tamariki ka tika ai to ratou tu mo nga ra kei te heke mai, na ka whai kiko nga whakatauki o nga tupuna – ka pu te ruha ka hao te rangatahi!

When we provide caring, loving and safe environments for children we prepare them with a confidence to  do well for years to come, this then gives rise to the proverb by our ancestor ‘ as the old plant reaches the end, the new and younger seeds begin to grow’

Kai Hakari – He aha te kai O te rangatira, He korero, he korero he korero

What are the foods fit for a cheif, it is conversation, conversation and more conversation!

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
