For an example, I  feel included,loved and especially safe with my family. The left koru is my beautiful mum and on the right is my funny dad. The first koru on my mum is  my big brother Darius,then my younger sister Gisselle. the small baby koru is my loving baby brother Kahjaden and on the side of him is me. Hoped you learned something today!
