Last week on Thursday Len Brown,Nick Smith and his crew came to Glenbrae School for the ceremony (powhiri) of the opening for a new Glenbrae school’s early childhood centre. The media from the maori television on channel 19 took pictures and videos of the Powhiri also, there were some protesters shouting out to Nick Smith that they want their homes back permanently.
It began with a prayer from Matua Jim, then followed by was Afe one of the members of the board of trustees doing a speech. Afterwards Len Brown the mayor of Auckland,New Zealand did a speech and then ending with a song called Te Aroha, well I could say he does have a nice voice for his age. After all the speeches that said during the Powhiri we all went to the front of the school and dug the first hole of making the new early childhood centre.
It would have been perfect but the protesters outside the school gate were really disturbing and loud. The whole Powhiri finished off with a prayer outside and everybody were filled with joy in their hearts, because their younger siblings can go to Glenbrae School now.
