Karanga te rā! Karanga te rā!

Torrential rain this year caused trees to fall onto the marae water tanks.

Trust chair, Cath Holland says it highlighted the urgent need for a retaining wall.  

Tena Koutou Katoa,
Kororia ki Te Atua,
He maungarongo ki Te Whenua,
He whakaaro pai ki nga Tangata katoa.    Amine.

E kore mutu nga mihi mahana me te aroha kia koutou katoa.

An Update:

Waipapa Marae Trust has a small window of opportunity to open the marae for a Special General Meeting for marae beneficiaries between the completion of Stage 2 of the Infrastructure Rebuild, the week before the SGM, and the start of Stage Three at Ngā Tai Whakarongorua on-site, mid-August. 

E te iwi, tēnā koutou katoa.

Great news! 

As alluded to in her last post, the Chair of the Waipapa Marae Trust is pleased to announce the trust has once again been successful with its funding application to DIA, the Department of Internal Affairs and awarded $989,064.00 funding to complete Stage Two, the final stage of the Infrastructure Rebuild at Ngā Tai Whakarongorua due to start at the beginning of next month.
