| Our 2016 Iwi at Takahanga Marae |
Kia Ora. Having been immersed in Kiwi and Maori
culture for the past five weeks will now make the journey back to American
culture another adventure. Our students will take with them lasting
memories of the challenges and opportunities of what not only New Zealand
faces, but what the rest of the world faces as well. Preserving
biological diversity, conserving resources, and maintaining a balance between
natural and human built environments are key to a sustainable future.
And, it will take all of us with our diverse backgrounds to come together
in many different ways to help make lasting change for a bright future.
Dear students, we hope that what you have experienced
with us in New Zealand will help shape the decisions you make for our future in
exciting and positive ways. We thank you for giving of yourselves openly
with your hearts and minds so that our time together could be such a special
learning opportunity for us all. We have really enjoyed being with all of
you, touring the wop-wops, and sharing a daily cuppa. Sweet As!
From the land of the long white cloud, safe and happy travels! See you in the land of the flowers (La Florida). With a Hongi and hug to each of you, Mark, Meryl, Jámm, and Tupelo
