Our Founding year
Ūnunia te rito o te harakeke; kei hea te Komako e ko?
Uia mai ‘He aha te mea nui o te ao?’
Māku e ki atu –
‘He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!’
Remove the central stem from the flaxbush; and the bellbird has nothing to sing from?
Ask me ‘What is central to our world?’ and I will say –
‘It is the person! It is the person! It is the person’
Why Join us
We seek to build understanding between the disability and faith communities. We are ecumunical and welcome those of different faiths. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with disabilities (UNCRPD) says that disabled people have the right to full and effective participation and inclusion in society.[1] This is a justice issue. It is our belief that society can do more to give full effect to the convention in New Zealand.
