Gratitude is one of the things that keeps us going through our mahi at Tāiki e!, and today we have the chance to reflect on it with a beloved member of our comunity joining us for a short korero. Meredith is one of our local council members and a very active voice in our community, with a great deal of reasons to feel gratitude and share it all around. We hope this message finds you well and in the company of those who make you feel grateful every day of your life. We'll see you next year!

Kia ora whānau! Today we are joined by a group of rangatahi entrepeneurs that have taken the decision to make their impact the measure of their success. Sun Upcycle is a kaupapa that looks to bring their community access to food that would otherwise go to waste through placing pataka kai throughout Turanganui-a-Kiwa / Gisborne. Their mission is to help alleviate suffering and their vision is to do it through enabling access to kai. You can find more about their journey on www.facebook.com/sunupcycle.

Every story has a beginning, and so does Tāiki e! Join us today as we explore the mysterious circumstances that bred this wonderful space of becoming. We send this message with love, hoping that it inspires many to find their tribe, support each other and believe in their cause, to bring forth meaningful change in our communities and our world.  Whano, whano! Haramai te toki! Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e!

Kia ora koutou! Today we have the immense joy of sharing the introduction to our podcast and our kaupapa. We want to tell you a bit about who we are and what we do, and invite you to join us in this space, where we will be bringing you along in our journey of turning passion into purpose into impact. Tune in every week to hear the stories of those who commit to making a change in our region through innovative, courageous and loving action.
