Te Rau Aroha kohanga reo ki Hamilton
This kohanga had a testing year with unrest, the resignation of the supervisor, lack of support from local kaumatua and the ill-health of the new supervisor, Nanny Emma. It was this hospitalisation of the new supervisor that put the kohanga under stress and the six workers in the whanau worked hard to carry out the kaupapa. Gradual support from local kaumatua, determination and aroha however soon improved the teaching of nga tamariki and nga tauira. The absence of Nanny Emma meant the whanau had to look to their responsibilities.
The whanau now thank all those from Hamilton for their support. Their advice to other kohanga reo suffering similar trials is kia kaha and remember that through testing God’s love becomes manifest. Na reira e poto tenei ripota kia koutou katoa te whanau o nga kohanga i roto i tenei rohe kia kaha kia manawanui. Na Te Atua koutou katoa e manaaki.
