Dream the dream, and achieve it.
This week's whakatāuki is explained by Justine Murray.

Joshua Kauta demystifies the art of book restoration at his studio on his whānau farm at Omaio, Eastern Bay of Plenty.

And, once a month the Levin Kokiri centre comes alive with the sounds of weaving and laughter as students from Te Wananga o Aotearoa weaving programme gather to learn techniques, share skills and spend time together. Raranga tutor Tracey Huxford shows Maraea Rakuraku around.
