Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Murray Halberg Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
