Orongo Marae Visit

What an awesome experience at the Marae! a Huge thank you to the Kaumatua and the young adults of Orongo Marae who welcomed us and taught us how to do a lot of things Maori.  We learnt how to weave flowers using harakeke leaves, make poi, perform the haka, raranga, mau rakau and lots more.
