On Monday 21st October, our local kaumatua Rangi Mclean blessed the new carving, created by Wikuki Kingi and his team at Pou Kapua Creations Trust. When you are next visiting the Homai Campus, please come and visit and explore this tactile mural. Huge thanks to The Trusts Community Foundation for a grant of $5000 towards this project!

One of the current projects is a tactile mural and carving of a waka tete (fishing waka) in the front entrance of the centre. We have had a series of meetings with local Kaumatua from Te Whānau o Homai and Manurewa Marae to discuss this project. They have all been in support of the kaupapa (purpose) of this project and we are ready now to make contact with the carver….watch this space for updates!
