Tracey Shepherd, REAP Aotearoa National Director, on the committee for Cloudkids Educare and coordinator of Fab Feathy, a community-led development initiative in Pae Tū Mokai Featherston.
Our kōrero today centres around the incredible force of coming together as a community, supporting each other, and just bloody getting on with it.
In such a time of disconnect, it's more important than ever to reconnect.
