Connecting our communities using the latest technology has been the focus of Hui Taumata and Te Rakato Social Services Trust with the support of Te Puni Kōkiri. On 6 March Te Rakato Social Services Trust in Mahia and Hui Taumata in Wellington were connected using a live web-based portal to show an example of how connected our communities can be with the right technology says Te Puni Kōkiri regional director Mere Pohatu. “The Connecting our Communities initiative is a very good example of work being achieved to strengthen our Māori communities,” she says.
