Shown here receiving a cheque for $1000 from the Rotary club of Waiheke, the Waiheke Kapa Haka group are off to Hawaii in April next year to visit the Polynesian island of Oahu. They plan to explore Hawaiian culture and to inspire young people to aim high and to grow their Te Ao Māori identity as global citizens.
To show their appreciation, the group did a roaring performance at one of our regular Monday night Rotary meetings.
