At Ngā Rangatahi Toa, you may have heard us talk about a framework that is embedded through all our mahi and self-care ‘Te Whare Tapa Whā. Te Whare Tapa Whā is a philosophy based on a holistic health and wellness model. Developed by Dr Mason Durie in 1982, it can be applied to any health issue, whether it involves physical or psychological well-being. It’s four taha are Tinana - Physical, Wairua - Spirit, Whānau - family and Hinengaro - mental and emotional. These can be explored separately but do not work in isolation. They weave together to provide the foundations of our well-being. 🌳 This is Pablo☝🏾he is a personal trainer and our youth mentor, he posted this yesterday with the kupu “The physical body does not depict your health, your insides do #feedyourmindbodyandsoul” 💓 We salute you for your ongoing commitment to wellbeing for yourself, rangatahi, whānau and everyone you touch with your light 💡 #tewharetapawha #unf❤️cktheworld
It’s National Volunteer Week whānau and we can’t tell how much we love and appreciate our volunteers 🥰 There aren’t enough words, hugs or thank you’s that can tell you how much you mean to us, our rangatahi and our whānau. There are so many of you past and present that have gifted us your precious time, your aroha and superpowers 🦹‍♂️ For all of you incredible humans that have printed our panui, made kai, driven our babies, were a shoulder to cry on, came to wānanga or Manawa Ora, uplifted our rangatahi, have given us your wise counsel, mentored us or listened... We salute you, we love you and we honour you. Your whakamana means the world 🌍 Ngā mihi nui 💓We will never forget you and your Ngā Rangatahi Toa whānau will always be grateful 🎈#unf❤️cktheworld #nationalvolunteerweek
As we say goodbye to May and @nzmusicmonth , we reflect on our collaboration with @allpressespresso OMAC, Te Puke o Tara community centre and the whānau at Life church. We are blessed that we were able to bring to the community of Ōtara, entertainment,warm drinks and kai every Monday night for over 1,000 people. We are deeply grateful for the community of Ōtara for letting us in and also our amazing sponsors Next Gen (see photo of 5 siblings that do the incredible mahi at Next Gen) @thetindallfoundation who recognise and give us licence to adapt our mahi to how and what the needs of the community are. Our work would not be possible without their deep generosity and honouring how we work in and alongside those communities that our rangatahi reside in. Next Gen have a fancy new website, check it, link in bio 🧡 Ngā mihi tino nui Next Gen - we love you!
Volunteer Appreciation Evening 🧡
Karanga maaaaaaiiiiiiii 👋🏽 We are putting the call out whānau, we’re on the search for legends who give a shit about young people as much as we do ❤️ We’re looking for humans to lend us their time,skills, energy and above all else, their love. Whether you see yourself as a driver, a cook, a cleaner, a motivator, an organiser, a social media legend, a merch selling machine, an admin wiz, a move heavy stuff around person...we want you and we will love you for it 🥰 Our work isn’t for the faint hearted, so all volunteers will need to go through a positive youth development induction, police vet and reference check. Beyond that, our volunteers are a kick arse squad who have a whole lotta fun doing the mahi 🌟 Chances are, once will never be enough for you and y’all wanna come back for more.We create safe spaces for people to be authentic,real and thrive. Together that creates an awesome-ness that is contagious 🔥 If you see yourself as someone who can think on their feet, reliable and adaptable,drop us a line so we can talk further about how and where you might slot into our fun filled collective 🤩 Drop us a line and let's start a conversation 💕 huia@ngarangatahitoa.co.nz Ngā mihi nui 🙏🏽 Ngā Rangatahi Toa whānau
After wānanga with the rangatahi, the youth development team were generously hosted by @tehaerenga to noho on Motutapu. The wairua and the mauri of the island allowed us to rest and rejuvenate. The manaakitangi of our hosts James and Billy made us laugh, filled our puku with kai, go on adventures, collect pipi, hikoi up Rangitoto, spot the well fed takahe and fall asleep with sound of kiwi. We can’t thank you enough...Our experience was truly priceless. We feel so blessed 🙏🏽❤️ #unf❤️cktheworld #ngatirangitoto
