Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming Paul Brobbel, the new Director of UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture, onto O Wairoa Marae -Te Whare Wānanga O Wairoa.
Having had my own pōwhiri last year, it was a privilege to be part of this beautiful ceremony for Paul, welcoming him to the whānau. This was followed by kōrero, kai and waiata - all genuine, heartfelt and honest experiences. True manaakitanga in action.
