He Whakamoemiti A Tribute
Helen Mountain Harte - Dip Teaching, B.A. M.A. 1943 - 2019
Helen dedicated the last 20 years of her life researching traditional Māori birthing and parenting practices. She co-founded Pēpi Penapena to continue to educate and inspire whānau about the loving tikanga our tūpuna practiced. We continue this mahi in loving memory.
Moe mai ra, tōku māmā. Moe mai ra.
