Often the big ideas are actually pretty simple.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You Have Value.
\nWe Succeed Together.
\nOthers Matter.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

These are the three messages at the heart of E T\u016b T\u0101ngata<\/a><\/b> \u2014 and they\u2019re pretty powerful ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The organisation was founded by Jay and Nicky Geldard after years spent working alongside young people and asking some pretty tough questions about why so many were struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n

For us here in Kawerau, that hits close to home. <\/span>In 2010 and 2011, our community went through an incredibly difficult period, with a number of suspected suicides reported locally, many involving young people. <\/span>For a small community, the impact was huge. Behind every number was a young person, a wh\u0101nau, friends and a wider community carrying that loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the things E T\u016b T\u0101ngata<\/b> challenges is something most Kiwis will know pretty well \u2014 Tall Poppy Syndrome<\/b>.
\n<\/span>Giving someone a hard time for doing well. Cutting them down for standing out. Or even playing down our own achievements because we don\u2019t want to look too proud of ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

But E T\u016b T\u0101ngata asks a simple question: what if we built each other up instead?
\n<\/b><\/span>It\u2019s a pretty simple idea, and one we really believe in too \u2014 back people, celebrate their wins and help each other grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

More recently, E T\u016b T\u0101ngata has taken those same ideas and turned them into a collection of children\u2019s books, helping introduce messages around confidence, belonging, self-worth and looking out for others from an early age. And we think that\u2019s something worth celebrating.
\n<\/span>Because the stories kids hear matter. The way we speak to them matters. And the way they see us treating each other matters too.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

E T\u016b T\u0101ngata is tackling some pretty big stuff, but the message at the centre of it couldn\u2019t be much simpler:<\/span><\/p>\n

Know your value. Back each other. Look out for others.
\n<\/span><\/b><\/span>Simple ideas.
\n<\/span>Big impact.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
