JENGO LA UMATU

In an exciting initiative, a group of spirited Canadians from Bishop Strachan School in Toronto launched the UMATU Fund Campaign and have been hugely successful in raising funds towards construction of an office/ business/ resource centre for UMATU. UMATU has been brainstorming ideas as to how they will use their centre to raise awareness, provide education and conduct business. As the dream moves towards reality, we've managed to purchase a nice piece of land for this purpose, not an easy accomplishment given Karatu's current reputation as a hot destination to purchase real estate. UMATU and CPAR are thrilled, the plans are drawn up and we are all anxious to begin construction, which should start within the next couple of weeks.
