KARANGA! TE REO WAIRUA O NGĀ WĀHINE MĀORI!

KARANGA! THE SPIRIT VOICE OF OUR MĀORI WOMEN!

Your support here will help me get this book called KARANGA, published and distributed. It has taken me 20 years to write and now I would be grateful for support in getting it finally published. Koha atu, Koha mai. Let us give and receive gifts of aroha. My book is full of important messages for us today, it will ensure our pae karanga are nurtured and maintained for future generations. Thank you in advance for supporting me in this important mahi.

Ko tau raurau, ko taku raurau, ka ora ai te iwi e! Together we have got this!

Use of funds

The funds will be used to produce the book, KARANGA, by paying a graphic artist, photographer, book designer, editor, and publishing, and distribution costs. There are many hidden costs in this exercise, I need help to make it happen. x

If the goal is not met, I will endeavour to use the funds to pay for services that I need to pay for and do a promotion which could possibly boost donors otherwise I will have to source funds elsewhere.

Karanga Book 1 November 2023

Kia ora everyone, My Karanga book is still coming. Firstly, thank you all so very much for your support. Due to the flooding of our village and Kurawaka property things got slightly off course and has taken me a while to refocus my thoughts and energy. So now we are getting on track again and are in discussion mode with a great publisher. Karanga is a sacred part of our cultural practices that we enact on our marae every time we welcome visitors on and into our marae complexes. I sincerely thank you all for your encouragement and support and I wish you all the best for the rest of 2023. This year has been challenging for all of us and now we are looking forward to a warm summer. Mauri ora ki a koutou katoa. E hara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari taku toa, he toa takitinii e. My strength and success are not mine alone, it is the result of the many supporters and whanau and those of te ao wairua. He tino mihi ki a koutou.

I will keep you posted on the progress as we move forward.
