Introducing... Kare Toa

1st Nov 2021

The Kare Toa group have been meeting every Wednesday at Te Hā. The group is focused around well being and positive opportunities for our wāhine. The girls get together each week and tick off some of the activities that they have jotted down on their planning days. Recently we have been for walks around Kaikōura, which has been a great challenge and really pushed the girls to give things a go - now they are excited to see how many walks we can tick off in the area. We even went to iSite and gathered up some brochures with walks they would like to conquer in the future. 

The girls had an afternoon of being pampered, which involved face masks, nail painting, platters, chocolate and bubbly grape juice - the fancy stuff. They loved their afternoon and it was filled with lots of laughs as they ripped Rosie's face mask off including the top layer of her skin.

Kare Toa is a chance for the girls to be themselves, have a laugh and be uplifted by each other. They have developed a strong connection and now push each other to go further.
