Communities rally on the East Coast
In mid-February, much of the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand was dealt a devastating blow at the hands of Cyclone Gabrielle. There have been many stories of devastation and loss, but equally, there are many of bravery, community, Kiwi ingenuity and local heroism. In this series of photos, we explore some of the mahi underway in the hard-hit regions of Te Matau-a-Māui Hawke’s Bay and Tāirāwhiti Gisborne to get early learning services, schools and kura up and running in the aftermath.
