He Pataka Oranga Launch

This week some of our staff were pleased to join our very own Daniel and Leoma Tawaroa, Healthy Families NZ, Heart Foundation and Cancer Foundation representatives, Public Health South, Awarua Health and Social Services, local marae representatives and Arahi Roopu Maori Toko I Te Ora to launch He Pataka Oranga – A storehouse of Wellbeing, which focuses on local community action for healthy eating! The toolkit was developed in partnership with 11 past presidents of the Invercargill branch of the Maori Women’s Welfare League from 1969 to 2015 and launched this week at the Te Tomairangi Marae.
