NGA MATE.
KA nui to matou pouri mo te nui o te matemate o nga tamariki pokupoku. Me pehea taua te Ivvi Maori e ora tonu ai te ao kite kore he tamariki hei tiriwa mo nga kaumatua ? I rongo matou ote kainga kotahi e 20 nga tamuriki i mate, o taua takiwa katoa e 60. E mea ana matou na te he pea ote tiaki i penei rawa ai te nui ote mate. Ko nga mate e whakamoti nei i a taua tamariki kite po, he mitara (measles), he mare whio (whooping cough). E hara enei mate ite mate e penei rawa ai te mate o te temariki, ctira kite kore e tiakina nga tamariki e kore e hapa te mate. Kaua e whakaaro nui kite rongoa, heoi ano te tino ronga mo enei mate, kite tiaki tonu o nga turoro kei puta ki waho, kei pungia ete matao. 1 kite au i tetahi kotiro e pangia ana e te mitara, otira i puta ia ki waho i te rangi matao, nui ke atu te whakaaro o ona kai-tiaki mo te tiki rongoa, kaore i pupuri ite turoro kia noho tonu ite whare. Kia kaha e nga matua kaua e whakarongo kite tangi a te tamaiti mate ; pai ke atu tana tangi i tau tangi. He “ piwa taipo ” ano tetahi mate e patu ano i a taua ite Maori. He mate ano tenei kia tino pai rawa te tiaki, ma te pai anake o te tiaki o te whakahaere hoki i nga kaika ora ai, otira he mate e ora noa kite manawanui te tiaki. Ina koa kua panuitia nei te matenga o Timoti Kiriwi ite piwa taipo. Ko te mea nui mo te tiaki i te turoro piwa ko te tapato kei pakaru te puku, i te mea kua angiangi noa i te piwa te pai, kaua e whangaia ki nga kai pokepoke, kaua hoki e whakakorikoria. Tukua kia tika ta koutou whakarongo ta koutou korero, whakaaro ako, i nga kupu tohulohu a te takuta kia manawanui ahakoa tino koha te mate, he tikanga no te piwa taipo kia pau rawa tona kaha katahi ka hoki ake ai te turoturo. Ete iwi kia kaha, kaua e rere totoa noa kite tohunga.
