WHO WE ARE

 KŌ Kollective trustees, service workers and volunteers are passionate about

the everyday things that matter to the people in our community. Putting people first we utilise the power of karakia to help us in actioning the practice of 'ngakautanga" or 'heartfeltness'. Working alongside others, with similar beliefs, we endeavour to deliver services that support the transformation of individuals and whānau.

KŌ KOLLECTIVE
TRUSTEE

 

Being asked to join KŌ Kollective has been an opportunity to reconnect and strengthen the bonds that were initiated a number of years ago by Nanny Doreen, and added to over the years, throughout my university years, and in my career.  I am fortunate to be able to contribute to the MWWL legacy she left, and I will be drawing on my experience and collective appreciation for all that sparkles. Kia ora Nanny.

I am a passionate practitioner of contextual learning for our people.

As a practitioner having only worked within the rural setting alongside our predominantly Māori communities, it is about knowing our community, knowing our learner and always operating from a strengthened based position.
