Award Congratulations to Carrie Taipari
Award humbles Hauraki health promoter
On 7 October at Hauraki health promoter Carrie Taipari received the Tu Rangatira mo te Ora Award at the NZ Population Health Congress Awards Dinner at the Aotea Centre in Auckland.
The award is given each year to an individual, whānau, hapu or iwi group who has made a significant contribution to Māori Hauora, with Tariana Turia a past recipient.
Carrie (Ngati Maru, Ngati Mahuta, Ngati Makirangi) was recognised for her leadership in being a role model for the rangatahi and whānau in her rohe (district). As health promoter for Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki, Carrie’s focus is sexual health, nutrition and physical activity with rangatahi.
Commenting on the work that helped her be nominated for the award, Carrie explains that “Successful health promotion for Māori, incorporates, respects and embraces tikanga and te ao Māori, otherwise it’s just not authentic and it doesn’t work.”
Carrie says hauora is an area that is not isolated and contained by itself, but that it is connected intricately to every facet of life.
She says that if she had just one message for rangatahi it would be that ora gains are life gains and legacies are left by those who seek to gain and give all they can.
“Seek ora, so that you may live your legacy. Always remember first and foremost – “He Māori koe – ko tō ngākau ki ngā taonga o ō tïpuna hei tikitiki mō tō māhunga.”
Awesome work Carrie!

I really enjoy the online version of SHOpp. Easy to read and can just choose the articles of interest. But I beleive you are right if you want to print there is no option. Would have to go through the browser. Personally would only print if it was to be sent around the office. Also great use of live links in the articles, also opening in new windows rather than scrolling back.
I did manage to print the Family Planning issu but this is more a FP detail rather than SHOpp …. http://help.issuu.com/entries/23971538-Can-I-download-and-or-print-a-publication-
Also like how you can upload your own article! Good if you could also upload images…
Apart from that think its great! Thanks for the hard work
This is very exciting for SHopp- very professional and well edited articles however it seems like it is meant to be read on line rather than printed off and flicked through at your leisure (and being a technodinosaur I struggle to be able to print it off ) also the link to FPs Briefing via Issu wasnt so straight forward. Again probably more a reflection on my skills (lack of!)
Would be interested to hear how others in the sector have found it.
I can also appreciate the many hours of hard work thats gone in behind the scenes to get it up to this stage- ngā mihi mahana to the hard working Xmas elves (V et al) We are so lucky to have you.
