The team and I warmly wish our Chinese community of Ōtepoti a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring you wisdom, strength, and new beginnings. 🐍💜
As we step into the Year of the Snake, we embrace the wisdom, resilience, and transformation. The snake symbolizes rebirth, healing, and strength—qualities that remind us of the courage it takes to seek change, create change and move forward.
There is a Chinese proverb that says:
"A wise snake does not strike at random."
This speaks to patience, strategy, and resilience—moving forward with thoughtfulness and strength.
At Ōtepoti Dunedin Whānau Refuge, we understand that taking the next step isn’t always easy. If you or someone you know is experiencing whānau family violence, know that you are not alone. Our doors are always open, and we are here to walk alongside you on your journey toward safety and empowerment.
This year, may you find strength in yourself, support in your community, and hope for the future.
Wishing you a safe, strong, and empowering Year of the Snake. 🐍💜
