We highlight and pay tribute to Lynn further in the newsletter. We also pay tribute to Josephine Anderson who was nominated in the King’s Birthday honours list.

Latest Tomokia

December 2022.

Kia hora te marino.  Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana.  Kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi.

May peace be widespread. May the sea glisten like greenstone.  And may the shimmer of light guide your way.
