CELEBRATING UNSUNG HEROES IN 2020
He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata
“What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people”.
The importance of community/people. This whakatauki talks to the importance of human connection and relationships. This is what creates community and enables people to flourish. It values the human being in all of us and reminds us of what is most important- not money, not success, not a job or a thing – it is people.
