Reconnect is a non-profit organisation founded in 2017. Our goal is to raise the awareness of those who are overlooked, undervalued, and forgotten in our society. We would like to invite you to join us in being the positive change our society needs.
Recently, cost of living, lockdowns, and struggles have been affecting the well-being of communities. At this Hauora Event, anyone young or old, single or in a family, can come and enjoy, remember, and reflect on our hauora (well-being).
Hauora is well-being in Te reo, which contains four pillars; Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Social Well-being (PMSS). With this holistic framework of well-being, we hope to rejuvenate the Hauora of each individual that comes to this event.
