**APPRECIATION POST**
Thanks to Fatima Vaaga for this weeks nomination - as we had the privilege of delivering to an amazing local Mangere couple Aporo Piho and Ngamata Uriaro.
This wonderful couple have for the past 5 years
volunteered their time to run a FREE community Soup kitchen at Whare Koa Mangere Community House each week.
Aporo has only recently slowed down due to some health challenges however, he still volunteers as the local driver for the local Cook Island Mamas group helping with their community programmes.
Ngamata continues to run the local Soup Kitchen every Monday and also leads the Tiare Taina Cook Islands Mamas group as Chairperson.
Aporo and Ngamata are both pensioners but they never hesitate to share all they have with others, often at their own expense.
We are so grateful for their serving hearts where they continue to be a blessing to others in our local community.
Thank you Aporo and Ngamata for being heroes to our local people.
We were also privileged on our visit to be graced by the presence of her Majesty Pa Tepaeru Ariki, who was working hard with Aporo and Ngamata in service to her people and local community.
They are our #communityheroes
