Our men at Le Va are getting on board to support She Is Not Your Rehab and their Love U Bro campaign today for men's mental health. Let's not assume people know we love them. Let's get on board and support the need to tell your friend, brother and work mate every chance you get that you love them and support them. Mentally well men don't perpetuate violence. #Leva #AtuMai #ViolenceIsNotOurCulture #loveubro

POTPLANT Studio co-founded by Joshua Peauafi, creates a safe accessible space for students with disabilities to connect with nature through planting in their own environment!

We had a great turnout for our very first Niu Wave tertiary workshop tonight.
The Talanoa was powerful and we were encouraged by all the different students that are going to represent our Pasifika communities in STEAM careers in the near future. Our future is in beautiful hands with Pasifika representation on the rise. Malo
Niu Wave is funded by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples as part of the Toloa scholarships program
