Two Kete Taonga STOLEN from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Porirua!!

Our Wednesday night Rāranga class has shown up tonight with 2 kete missing from the collection. They have been removed from the TWOA Porirua Campus between Sunday 2 Aug 12pm and Tuesday 4 Aug 9pm.

These kete were destined for whānau of the two tauira, who are now devastated - the mana and wairua of the class has diminished completely. The mamae is real. We would like these returned intact and back to the original creators.

To avoid what may come to you by taking these kete, return to TWOA Porirua Campus Office, no questions asked. If you have been sold these kete since Sunday 2nd Aug, please make contact with us.

Lastly, if you have any information on the whereabouts of these two beautiful kete, please message our page. Your information will be kept anonymous. Ngā Mihi, tauira of Kāwai Raupapa ki Porirua.

*Edit: Camera footage is being reviewed, this has been posted in the meantime, while we wait.*
