Rangi is a  mother of seven grown children and Nana to twenty-two mokopuna and two great – mokos. Born to a strong fluent m\u0101<\/em>ori speaking wahine toa, bought up in a Catholic tradition and to a fluent m\u0101<\/em>ori speaking father strong in his beliefs tikanga m\u0101<\/em>ori, grounded in nature and natural lore. Strengthening manawahine M\u0101<\/em>ori leadership for the sake of her wh\u0101<\/em>nau, community, hapu and iwi has been a strong calling and still does today. Rangi has a long and generous vocation across many organisations and communities. She is a cultural supervisor, counsellor and educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: <\/strong>I have learned that tapu and mana of a person( and all of creation) must be respected and honoured at all costs. That tapu is the concept of having boundaries in place to set limits and restrictions to keep a person(and creation) safe. If that tapu is violated, by other, it will damage and diminish a person\u2019s sense of being, whereby mana is disempowered, the mauri becomes weak and the persons dimensions of health and well-being is threatened and could lead to ongoing health problems if no one( culturally appropriate in most aspects) is there to hear their truth and accept it without judgement. This is an ongoing process from darkness to Te Ao Marama, two of 10 Maori models on offer when counselling or seeking to restore, hurt, harm, injustice and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extraordinary story of a Christian man, Iafeta Matalasi, and a convicted killer as featured on TVNZ’s “Sunday”. Iafeta Matalasi and Shane Harrison have two key things in common; both are fathers, and both have a close connection to the murder of Alonsio (Sio) Matalasi. Alonsio’s death changed both of their lives in unexpected ways. “Sunday” takes us inside prison for the meeting of these two men, brought together by bloodshed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten years later he graduated from Massey University with a B.Sc. in Sports and Exercise Science. He also achieved a Diploma in Education and a Diploma in Teaching English as a Second Language.

Each week, more than 200 volunteers give their time to help positively connect some of the 41,000 New Zealanders doing it tough. The focus is on creating a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or feel disconnected from the community.
