RĀHERA RENATA

KAIAWHINA - GIRLS' KĀINGA

He uri tēnei nō Ngā puhi ki Whirinaki, Ngāti Hapana ki Tsuyama ratou ko Ngāti Pākēhā.
Ko Ramaroa te maunga
Ko Whirinaki te awa
Ko Matawhaorua te waka
Ko Te Hikutu te hapū
Ko Ngā Puhi te iwi

With Māori, Japanese and European whakapapa, Rachel/Rāhera Renata has been working passionately in Youth and Community development for over 12 years. She has lived most of her life in Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington but moved to Auckland in 2019 with her husband so that they would be able to study Indigenous Theology. 2021 saw them both enrolling in rumaki reo, Te Wananga o Takiura, to reclaim their reo and gain a better understanding of whakaaro māori.
2022 will see both her and her husband finishing their degrees in indigenous theology.

Rāhera has experience in disabilities, mental health support and trauma. She often travels to speak at youth events but holds more value in her relational interactions with young people.

She was excited to step into a supportive role in the girls' kainga and is most happy cleaning and cooking in the kitchen as she believes food is a commonly understood love language.

GEORGINA NAMANA

KAIĀWHINA - GIRLS' KĀINGA

Ko putauaki tōku maunga
Ko te orini tōku awa
Ko mātaatua tōku waka
Ko ngati awa tōku iwi
Ko taiwhakaea tōku marae
No whakatane ahau

Iam 28 years old and have 3 children between 7 and 12. I love spending most of my time with family, I enjoy music and traveling to my hometown. I grew up in Otara and Manurewa. I now live in Papakura.
Before joining the team at InZone, I was working as a teacher aide at Randwick Park school in Manurewa. While working in their bilingual unit for a year, I saw the passion from rangatahi getting to know the importance of their culture. Working at InZone I hope to share the same passion as these students with everyone. I hope to make the environment at InZone a fun and exciting place to be.

NATALIA GASU

KAIĀWHINA - GIRLS' KĀINGA

Talofa Lava my name is Natalia. I am NZ Samoan born in Christchurch, wife of 18 years and mother to four now residing in West Auckland. I enjoy watching any performing arts and have seen how Pasifika communities, when they manifest their talents in this area, can really flourish and strengthen their cultural identity. My work has always involved working with families and young people or children. I consider it a blessing to seek learning whether it be formal education or via upskilling in other ways - just by getting involved in your local community can offer a diverse training foundation for you. I would like to share a Samoan proverb: ``A taotu pulupulu lima fa'atasi, e māmā ai se avega`` - Many hands make light work. We can come together to share, help, support and work together to get the task done. Fa'afetai mo le avanoa. Mālō le soifua.
