On behalf of the Heiva 'Ai 'Ai staff and myself, Mauruuru roa for your time, patience and understanding. This has been a learning experience for everyone as we overcome the challenges, move forward and plan for the future.

We will continue to perpetuate our Tahitian culture 'Ori and language through dancing and music. The event was successful in gathering people.
