Temel's Walk for Peace

Any chance you would be able to give updates on here on how you are doing? I'm so proud of the courage you are showing doing this. We are one. You are as much of a New Zealander as any other one of us. Much love x

Kia ora Temel

Thank you for your courage and huge heart at creating this kaupapa and taking such powerful action in the name of peace, love and healing. Wishing you and your people much kindness and generosity from the wider community, and fortitude in your mission. Aotearoa is much richer for the diversity of cultures that make us up and share with us their taonga, and as tangata whenua I want you to know you are both very much welcome and valued. Thank you for responding to hate and ignorance with such courage and love to transcend the hurt of what happened with your own choices to stand up for healing and demonstrate your faith in our country overcoming hate. That's pretty amazing. I love it. And I want you to know that my whānau and many, many others, support you ❤
