24. Lady Ranapiri-Kupa - Breaking Intergenerational Cycles of Imprisonment

In this episode I talk to Lady Ranapiri Kupa of Prison Fellowship Aotearoa, aka He Korowai Whakapono.  Lady oversees people and programmes that really get alongside families of people who have experienced prison to help to break the generational cycle of imprisonment.  We talk about the tamariki and whānau, about mana, dignity, shame, restoration, and seeing people as people. We look at the programmes PFA run and the kaupapa (reason for being) of the programmes and the organisation.   To connect with Prison Fellowship Aotearoa head to hekorowaiwhakapono.nz or: Facebook: facebook.com/hkwnz Instagram: @pfa_hkw Or for the organisation supporting them with cakes, check out cakeitforward.co.nz or: Facebook: facebook.com/cakeitforwardnz Instagram: @cakeitforwardnz ___ Connect with me at downtoearthconversations.com or at: Facebook: facebook.com/downtoearth.conversations  Instagram: @downtoearth.conversations Email: [email protected]   Music by Strahan: Spotify: Strahan Facebook: facebook.com/StrahanMusic  or  facebook.com/commonerscommunion Instagram: @strahanmusic  or  @commoners_communion
