What is important to Jeanette about Huakina?
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata
Continuing to push boundaries, overcoming obstacles and those who put them in our way to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
To not forget the reasons why our Kaumātua and Kuia began Huakina Development Trust, Te Tai Ao me Te Tangata o Te Puaha o Waikato ki Manuka.
What is one goal Jeanette wishes to accomplish for Huakina? And how?
That all whānau will one day become their own life navigators. They have grown in knowledge and confidence to know their rights and entitlements, they are independent and have become their own advocators, they have set and reached goals and are now role models for others, they are active and healthy and are guiding their whānau to better wellbeing. They have learnt how to manage obstacles and navigate their life and their whānau toward a better future.
Create a ‘call centre or pop in’ navigation service that can inform, guide and teach where, who, what, and how to manage some of these systems that can be obstacles for whānau to where they push it aside and, in some cases, can become worse. The service would also give education and health information and more when requested for.
