This is the heart of the matter! Vaka Tautua from Chch is building connections with their Neurodivergent Ashburton aiga (family) at Arofa Koha Cafe, and we recognize our team's role in demonstrating to these parents the significance of a supportive space that fosters a sense of belonging, confidence, and inclusion. .Our service has a far-reaching impact. Thank you, team, for your outstanding efforts! Arofa Koha Cafe, NeuroHub NZ sensory toys, equipment were well used by the tamaiti who also visited, thank you Ashburton Toy Library Inc-NZ.
