🪘 Three weeks down, only two to go! ❤️

Last night marked our third ‘Upa’upa class with TEHAKAIKI , and we’re feeling incredibly grateful.

Having someone so passionate and knowledgeable willing to share his skills, experience, and love for traditional Mā’ohi drumming with our school is truly a privilege. Every week, our students are not only learning rhythms—they’re learning the culture, discipline, and spirit behind the music.

It’s hard to believe we only have two more weeks left with him before he returns home. We’ll definitely be making the most of every lesson!

Māuruuru roa, TEHAKAIKI, for your generosity, humility, and dedication. Your contribution to Ahuuranui Tahiti and our students will leave a lasting impact. ❤️🪘
