Have you heard about the Pātaka Kai movement?
Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi. With your basket and my basket, we will sustain the people.
Have you heard about the Pātaka Kai movement? At BestStart Willowpark we love the idea of sharing what we don't need, reducing food waste and supporting our whānau - it's manaakitanga in action.
Kim our Parent Whanau Support teacher collects food for our shelf every few weeks from Nourish for Nill. The organisation is a local non-profit organisation with a simple system, rescuing food from donors to recipients.
When the children leave the centre, they often choose some goods from the shelf to take home. The children have been learning about the importance of sharing the food around for all whanau.
