Baby on board: Whānau benefiting from marae-based maternity care
Leith Porter-Samuels empowers pregnant Māori women and their whānau with childbirth and early-parenting skills using a unique kaupapa Māori model.
She recently hosted birthEd’s free three-day Kaupapa Māori Antenatal and Kaiāwhina Education course at Te Kakano o Te Aroha Marae in Moera, Lower Hutt, and will hold another course in December.
The environment outside of a hospital is more natural - it feels safer to learn, said mum-to-be Ngarangi Williams.

Some Choice News!
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!
