Tangoio Marae bookings during Covid-19

Pānui from the Tangoio Marae Trustees:  “In response to the Ministry of Health information and advice on COVID-19, the Board of Trustees for Tangoio Marae have cancelled all bookings to at least Easter 2020 with a view that it may extend this closedown period further.  We apologise to those that have booked the marae, however the priority is to slow the spread of COVID-19 and minimise the risk to our whānau.  We will be refunding any payments that have been made and will update accordingly as we assess the advice and information that we receive.”

Tangihanga during Covid-19

Tangihana during these turbulent times is difficult.  Having conversations within your whānau, whilst uncomfortable, is a good way to discuss this difficult topic.  You can click here to find this information or follow this link https://covid19.govt.nz/help-and-advice/for-everyone/funerals-and-tangi/

KAUA E WHAKAMĀ – Don’t be shy & please reach out

We understand it’s a tense time for most whānau. Covid-19 is nerve-racking, and it’s rapidly impacting the way we socialise, do mahi, travel, and live. We know many whānau are feeling anxious, stressed, worried and scared.  If you’re struggling or know someone that is, then please reach out – Kaua e whakamā – Don’t be shy.

Our key messages are still important for us all at Alert Level 4 and 3

  • Manaaki Tangata – checking in with our ‘Whānau Pounamu’
  • Rāhui – staying home and physical distancing
  • Oranga – maintaining your wellbeing physically, emotionally and spiritually.
  • Kaua e whakamā – Don’t be shy, if you or somebody you know needs help – please reach out.

He aroha whāereere, he pōtiki piri poho

Aroha = affection, sympathy, charity, compassion, love, empathy

Whāereere = mother

Pōtiki = youngest child (but in this context, small child)

Piri = cling, keep close

Poho = chest, source of affections.

While this whakataukī talks specifically about a mother and a small child it also alludes to the deep affection and connection between a mother and her child that endures well beyond the early years.
