Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:

“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities in Auckland. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

DEAR COMMUNITY, IF YOU CARE ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS MSG 😍

I just started with a fitness and well-being project for homeless women in Auckland.
For the past few weeks I start working with Auckland City Mission that covers the CBD area only and now I'm trying to find out if there is an organisation that looks after the the homeless people here locally, in our community.

I own LIONESS - The Gym for Women in Highland Park and we are about to open another studio branch in Pakuranga for our members, and I would like to offer some complimentary fitness and well-being services to the local homeless women and perhaps also to affiliate with other local businesses and we can do something together ♥️

Can you please email me at info@lionessgym.co.nz if you know of any organisation that is looking after the east/south homeless people
