KIA ORA NEXT

Following the success of Kia Ora Hola on its first run on Maori television in March, we are developing a third Kia Ora series - this time as two separate destinations Delhi in India, and East London in South Africa. In April, George Andrews and Te reo Consultant Hinurewa Poutu travelled to both countries to reconnoitre locations, potential host schools and stories. We propose to do six Kia Ora episodes in each country in 2010 and 2011 with separate groups of kura kaupapa Maori students selected from around New Zealand.
