HINEMOANA

"I’ve always been an independent person. But being in this kaupapa, and being around other kaiako or whānau within kura I’ve learnt to work with others. Not just with my kura or not just in my close circle but to reach out and be with others and learn from others. Koha atu, koha mai. I teach them and they teach me."
