Whakarongo

Welcome to Whakarongo - the podcast representing the voices of thousands of tamariki and rangatahi in state care in Aotearoa.  Last year, we marched to parliament calling on the government to uphold six promises relating to our basic rights, and this year we’re talking to the young people affected by those promises being broken. This episode is about Celine George - and the promise to learn about her culture, and know her whakapapa. We also talk to Ngā Hiriwa Tai Tin, VOYCE Kaimahi about her journey of discovering her care experience through whāngai.  ----------------------------------------------------------------- If listening to this podcast brings up any issues for you, and you need to talk - we recommend reaching out to a trusted friend or adult.
