RARANGA HARAKEKE: WEAVING FLAX
Our popular Raranga Harakeke: Weaving Flax course starts next week!
Join us and enjoy learning how to Raranga (weave) Whakairo (patterns), Ika (fish), Kete (bag), Piupiu tags and Muka (fibre like rope). Become more familiar with our Harakeke (flax), a Taonga of New Zealand, and learn how to care for it.
Enjoy the feeling of self-sufficiency and fulfilment through practicing this art form our Maori ancestors have passed down for all people to love and experience.
This 4-week course will be held at Parnell Community Centre on Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm, starting 28th July. To enrol or get more information, visit our website at www.parnell.org.nz... or contact Olivia at community@parnell.org.nz
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
