He Rau Aroha ki ngā whānau
As the extent of the cyclone’s impacts continue to unfold, we are uplifted by the tremendous generosity of our whānau and New Zealanders around the country who have rallied to provide supplies and donations to support those communities who have lost so much.
To support our whānau who have been so devastated by the effects of Cyclone Gabrielle, Te Matatini will host He Rau Aroha - a fundraiser for our whānau in Te Tai Tokerau, Te Tairawhiti and Ngāti Kahungunu who have been most affected.
A Give a Little page Te Matatini o te Aroha has been set up by Te Matatini Society Incorporated for those who would like to donate to the recovery fund. A link for the site will feature via the TNVZ broadcast.
All proceeds will be distributed by Te Matatini to the three districts affected.
