Ko Cindy Kawana tōku ingoa

Cindy comes to E Tipu E Rea Whānau Services in 2022 with over 20 years in the social service sector, predominately in Domestic Violence. Cindy historically trained as an Early Childhood Teacher, which has allowed her to live, work and travel extensively in Southeast Asia. She has returned to tertiary education and is currenting completing a Degree in Humanities majoring in Policy and Indigenous Development.

Cindy is passionate about the importance of whanau being seen as the leaders in their own journey and that services are there to support, and if needed, be the korowai for them in that journey.

Her extensive work in the Domestic Violence sector has shaped her thinking about the need for a Te Ao Māori framework if we are to see any sustainable change occurring in outcomes for our whanau.

Cindy has been awarded a Lifetime Collective membership to Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge because of the work and support to the organisation and community. She is also an active member in her community on Auckland North Shore as a Board Member of the local Community Project.

Cindy’s real passion is her whanau and the support she can give to them all. She is the mother of a young wāhine Māori, Cass, who appears to be travelling the same path. A teacher who believes she will also end up work with kids experiencing whanau violence.

Ko Laifaiga Filivaa tōku ingoa

Laifaiga Filivaa joined E Tipu E Rea Whānau at the end of 2018. After having worked in the education sector for 5 years Laifaiga found that he preferred helping and talking with students more than he did working in a traditional teaching context, and decided he wanted to work more deeply with others. Laifaiga works 1:1 with young fathers,  co-ordinates writing projects (funding applications, business cases, reports) and is our in-house IT support  (social media, website development, troubleshooting computer and phone issues).

Having been a young father himself, Laifaiga has faced the stigma that young parents have to deal with. He strongly believes that by offering support, information, or just listening to how they are doing, young dads can thrive to be successful in their parenting journey.  Laifaiga is proudly Samoan and is currently in the process of researching his whakapapa Māori.

Laifaiga is active in the Te Atatū community as well greater Auckland area. In his spare time, he enjoys playing basketball, reading and playing with his tamariki.

Amiria is a proud Māori and Niuean māmā of two, born and raised in West Auckland. She joined E Tipu E Rea in 2022 as the Youth Support Worker who helps the team with admin, everyday tasks, and  supporting mātua taiohi and their whanau.

Amiria has over 7 years experience working with young people of all ages from different backgrounds. One of the things that stood out for her is that many young people down-play their skills, knowledge and potential and lose a part of their identity because they don’t fit into societies mould! She likes to help people find the confidence to be proud of who they are, where they have come from and where they are wanting to be.

Amiria is currently on her own journey of self-discovery with Te reo Māori/Te ao Māori and finds herself connecting more to others through whakapapa, culture and identity.

In her spare time, Amiria likes to create new memories with her friends and whanau by going on road trips, adventures out in nature and having backyard barbeques. She loves playing sport, being creative and having a good scroll on TikTok for some laughs.

Growing up in the duality of Te ao Māori and Western

Influenced NZ I have always had a passion for reinvigorating the belief system of Whanau Māori and Pasifika, taking the learnings of our Tupuna, and cultivating them into systems that create meaningful outcomes in our communities.

 

As a professional fundraiser I have learnt to build relationships with people from all walks of life, helping them not only to see a common goal but to also support that goal physically and financially.

 

Pairing this with my Human Resources/ People and Culture experience, I can provide full life cycle support of staff. From systems and innovation, talent sourcing, policy and contracts right through to careers and development. It is my belief that if our Kaimahi are feeling safe and valued their work will reflect this in our community.

Ko Ben tōku ingoa,

I ahu mai ai ki tētahi wāhanga o te taone nui, arā ko Tāmaki Makaurau, ko taua takiwā ko Te Raki Paewhenua. I kuraina e au ki te kura Tuarua o Oneroa kātahi ka haere ki Te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki Makaurau me te Whare Wānanga o Yoobee School of Design. I whai tohu au ki roto i te Ao Putaiao me te Hanga Niko/Whakanikoniko anō hoki. I whakatūria e au taku pakihi niko arā, Mana Design kia ruku hōhonu ai ki te ao whakarakei me te whakawaiwaiā o ngā mea katoa. Heoi anō, i mokemoke ai ahau mō āku āhuatanga Māori, nā whai atu i ērā momo huarahi i hoki ai au ki tōku Ao Māori, ā, ka whakauru au ki ngā akoranga Reo Māori ki te Whare Wānanga o Aotearoa, Rōnakitanga, Aupikitanga tae noa ki te Pīnakitanga o te Reo Kairangi. Kātahi anō au ka whakapōtaetia te kaupapa whakamutunga, ko te Pīnakitanga.

 

Ko toku matainaina ko te whakawhanuitanga o ngā Toi Māori ki ngā kokona katoa o tēnei Ao Kikokiko.

 

My name is Ben Thomason, a proud Māori descendent of Ngāti Raukawa based in Ōtaki. I grew up on Auckland’s North Shore where I attended the decile 10 School Long Bay College. After college I degrees in Science and Graphic Design from UoA and Yoobee School of Design. My passion remained in the Graphic Design side of things as I already had a background in Māori Art from my apprenticeship as a Tā Moko (Māori Tattoo) artist in my final year of college. After graduating i set myself as a freelance Graphic Designer under the Sole Trader Name, Mana Design. I worked tirelessly to broaden my skillset. My background in Māori Art saw a gapped filled in the design world and i’ve been lucky enough to work alongside some awesome companies such as, Auckland Transport, MoE, Māori TV, TVNZ, NZ Police, Māori Party, Te Whānau o Waipareira, Whānau Ora, ANZ, Northern Mystics and the Warriors.

However as I have progressed i’ve found myself wanting to solidify my skillset and cultural competency even further, thus for the last 3 years ive been enrolling and graduating all the full emersion Te Reo Māori programmes at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Im currently about to graduate the final course they have on offer at the highest academic level with that institute.

To conclude, my deepest want is to use all my skills and work ethic to see Māori Art done right and flourishing around the world so it too can be loved by all.
