Help get our indigenous youth to the UN Climate Talks!

  • Te Ara Whatu/NZYD Youth Delegation - Journey to COP23

      1 November 2017

    A message from Te Ara Whatu....

    And we are off!

    Some of the delegation have arrived in Germany, with the remaining members arriving over the next few days...

    The love and support we've received so far from everyone - our families, our friends, the strangers we're yet to meet - has been overwhelming. We are so so grateful. There are not enough words to express the immense love we feel and have felt over these last few weeks.

    To the people who have fed us, the people who have housed us, the people who have nurtured us, the people who have given to and shared our campaign, the people who have given us clothing, gifts to take with us, the people who have believed in us - we are so thankful!

    What a privilege it has been, what a privilege it is to be able to take the battles our people have been fighting to this platform. We do not take it lightly.

    As indigenous peoples, as children of the Pacific, our paths are interwoven. Together, we walk a path forged long before us, a path that will continue long after us.

    Without all of you, this would not be possible.

    Fa'afetai atu mo le lagolagoina oi matou.

    Alofa'aga, Aroha nui,

    We would like to keep the Givealittle page open for some more time yet, as we have not yet reached our funding target. Thank you for your support.
