Kia ora, Talofa lava
I am from a Samoan Aoga Amata (early childhood centre) in Mt Roskill. We are planning our Matariki focus and I have been searching (unsuccessfully) for a Matariki Maramataka for our centre. Today I came across yours – what a wonderful idea to feature it in the way you have.
I am wondering if it is possible to purchase a calendar from you (that’s hoping you still have some!) If so, please let me know how much and how to make the payment.
