The arrival of summer is being celebrated in Te Hana this month with a special, free family fun day at Te Hana Te Ao Marama Maori cultural centre.
The Hine Raumati Whanau Day takes its name from a Maori spirit that personifies summer and will be held on Saturday, December 14 from 10am to 2pm.
As well as stalls selling a range of gift items and food, there will be children’s rides, bouncy castles, hangi, a free sausage sizzle and ice cream.
In addition, there will be free health checks and immunisations for children and seniors provided by one of the event’s main organisers, Te Hā Oranga, the iwi organisation that provides health and wellbeing services to everyone in the Ngāti Whātua rohe.
All are welcome and anyone attending is encouraged to bring along a brand new toy or non-perishable kai to put under the Christmas tree for local foodbanks and families in need.
Other organisations backing the whanau day include Te Hana Community Development Charitable Trust, HealthEd NZ, Plunket, Well Child Tamariki Ora and Time to Screen.
