Meet Christina Nuku who graduated with majors in Indigenous Studies and Policy. Through Awanuiārangi, Christina experienced a 3-month exchange programme at the University of Northern British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She shares “the exchange connected me with the Nisga’a people, First Nations tribal systems, communities and hauora programmes. It informed my studies and opened my mind. It was a genuine privilege to connect with the tangata whenua there, and an opportunity I would never otherwise have had”
“The difference at Awanuiārangi is the whanaungatanga. Our kaiako cultivated a supportive and nurturing environment”.

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?
Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Jun is a cousin of Kombucha, which uses honey to aid the natural fermentation process rather than sugar. It is brewed with organic white tea and Manuka honey, and is rich in organic acids, beneficial bacteria, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and B vitamins.
* High probiotic count (honey creates a robust prebiotic
environment throughout fermentation)
* Less than 2.5% sugar
* Made with pure Tongariro spring water
* Light & sparkling
This is a delightfully refreshing drink!
