Fighting for Kapahaka Roopu Kahurangi Ki Kaipara
Old fellah fights for first time to support local Kapa Haka group.
Auckland
I am on an eight week boxing program culminating in 3 rounds of 2 minutes in the ring on Saturday 24th June at the Auckland Boxing Association. As part of my program I am seeking support for Kapahaka Roopu Kahurangi Ki Kaipara.
Funds generated will help them to give our beautiful tamariki purpose and give joy to the communities they serve (please read below)
Kahurangi ki Kaipara is a local Roopu which Represents Ngā mārae e rima o Kaipara ki te Tonga (The 5 mārae of south kaipara) tutored by Papa Joe Timoti Kahurangi ki Kaipara has participated and supported many community events across our rohe. And has performed both nationally and internationally over the many years. Majority of our members come from local mārae and local schools. Papa Joe works to develop the knowledge and practice of Te Reo Maori and tikanga maori in the tamariki of the south kaipara region through kapahaka. We are currently working towards taking our roopu to Koroneihana to perform in front of the Māori King.
Our ultimate goal would be to help put funds towards getting new Kakahu for our roopu. It would also help support traveling costs towards getting our Roopu to Turangawaewae Mārae for koroneihana, to help contribute towards wananga costs.
Please give generously.
Ngā mihi nui
