POD HUI 2014! The concept of pod hui is to have an annual gathering of regional groups and families together in their pods to share, unite and support. Pod hui can look like whatever you want it to, as long as it is inclusive and collaborative. The intention is that pod hui will be able to be tailored to and by the community where they take place. By locating the hui within the region, whole whanau can attend and local issues can be discussed. It is intended for pod hui to be planned by the members in each region, with financial assistance from the Home Birth Aotearoa Trust to help at a practical level, for transport, venue costs and other logistical needs. The trust has funding available to help make pod hui happen. As discussed at the national hui, this year we are asking you to tell us what you’d like to do and how we can help. Once we have a picture of where the energy and action is, we can share the funding available accordingly. Please let us know as soon as possible. Please write and tell us a story about what you envision: - Who, how many people will come? - Where and when you have a plan for - What costs do you anticipate - What funds you may have available or think you can acquire from your area/participants - How we could contribute –pay for venues, pay for food, petrol vouchers or other invoices directly? Are you able to invoice us from your region? In order to keep our paper work in check, we need to find creative and collaborative solutions to receipt the money spent - What other support can we offer? Can our Facebook page help, do you need email contacts for folks in your region? - Can you discuss with the trustee in your pod to get you started? Wondering where and what you pod is? Check out our notes on pod hui, or email [email protected]. Please see below for pod groups and the associated trustee.
