Kia ora whānau,
We are at the beginning of the 5 week countdown and I just want to express my gratitude to everyone who has donated to or shared this kaupapa.
With 5 weeks up our sleeves, we still have plenty of time to get closer to the goal.
If you missed it on the social media platforms, I am facilitating Beginner and Intermediate Te Reo Māori courses in November. I'm currently taking registrations for the last intake of the year.
All funds raised from these courses will go straight to this kaupapa and I will share the final amount that will contribute at the 2 week mark.
If you haven't already, or even if you have, I ask everyone to share this kaupapa with your whānau. Whether that's by sharing this page, or one of the videos on the Kia Tika Te Kōrero Youtube Channel.
Thank you for your support and encouragement, kei te tino hari te ngākau.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in to the page, whether it was just to have a nori (nosey) or to tautoko (support), I truly do appreciate it.
It was a pretty hard decision to put this out there and ask whānau to donate to this kaupapa especially considering the current state of our way of life so I'm really happy to see so much tautoko for the kaupapa.
The video I'm attaching is from my TikTok account which I started 2 weeks ago which I used to promote the kaupapa.
If anyone has any pātai, please, ask away.
Ko te mauri ka mau, ko te reo Māori.

One week in and 8 weeks to go and what an amazing start to the campaign. I really appreciate everyone who has checked in and donated, it means a lot.
While the project is for a tool people can use 'on the go', I have also started a Youtube channel and will start posting 'Learn how to pronounce *insert Māori place name here*' videos there. The link to the Youtube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh1Hgh2-AZPVCYvEYQFW5pA
Over the next 8 weeks, I anticipate I will have 100 videos posted, which is but a fraction of how many Māori place names, or ingot wāhi Māori, there are.
If you haven't already, I would really appreciate it if you could share this kaupapa amongst your friends and whānau. I'm going to need to do a big push at the beginning of every week and I need everyone's support.
Next update will be on Friday 8th October 2021.
Stay tuned whānau.
