Last week, our marae was visited by the Ministry of Social Development here at Nga Whare Waatea. We were joined by Chief Executive Debbie Power, Deputy Chief Executive Marama Edwards, Regional Commissioner Julia (Jules) Lynch, and Manager of Client Service Operations and Marae Co-location, Haupai Montgomery.

It was a sunny day on site as we checked out the different departments and met with all the kaimahi working hard to deliver our many services and support to our community. Te mīharo e te whānau!
