Issue: September 2018

I tautokotia e mātou, te Manatū Hauora, i te wiki o te reo Māori. "Kia kaha te reo Māori" te kaupapa mō tēnei tau. He kaupapa rangatira tēnei, he kaupapa whakahirahira hoki. He mauri te reo Māori nō Aotearoa māu, mā tatou katoa. Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia.

So let’s work as one team, kotahi te tīma, to make te reo Māori strong.
