Please familiarise yourselves with what is happening in your rohe and talk with your whānau and friends to make a plan about how you will get there to join in the hīkoi and the activations at each point.
We will all need to be self sufficient so please think about organising things like kai, wai and where you will be staying for the night at each of the locations as well as someone to drop you off and pick you up after each leg of the hīkoi.
