Kia Ora Koutou,

Hopefully, over the school holidays, you had time to breathe and take some time for yourself. It has been great having time to speak to members and to get to know a little more about you. I am constantly amazed by what incredible caregivers you are and how much everyone has going on.
I had to travel by plane recently and the emergency talk each time on the plane is around putting your own mask on first, otherwise you could pass out before successfully putting the other persons on. This always reminds me of self-care, how we cannot give out of an empty bucket.

This month we celebrate Mother’s Day. To all our mums who share their hearts with our children in care, can I say a very heartfelt “THANK YOU”. You are truly amazing women who give so much and ask for so little in return. I hope you know how precious you are.
