A former refugee family struggling in a cold, damp Dunedin home say they feel abandoned by the government agencies tasked with looking after them.

Ahmad Al Ghanem, his pregnant wife Hamda Al Salem and their five young children arrived in Dunedin from the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre eight months ago.

The side shelves of their refrigerator are now lined with medication to help the family fight respiratory illness, which they say is caused by their cold, damp rental.

Their stories came to light after community-led development agency The Valley Project talked to terrified local Muslim families in the aftermath of the March 15 terrorist attack in Christchurch.

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

Over the next few weeks we'll be introducing the amazing wahine who have accepted the challenge of our Trek to Transform trip to Vietnam which will take place in April.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!

As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."
