Can you speak te reo Māori?

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, Rangatahi (young people) from around the country gathered at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau yesterday to share their thoughts on how to get more New Zealanders speaking te reo Māori. Nine of their projects will each get up to $10,000 from Crown entity Te Māngai Paho. Read the story or watch the video below to find out what they had to say. Can you speak te reo Māori? Share your story of learning the language in the comments section.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
