My dad told me this story about when he learned who his father was. I learned the importance of knowing your family.

My Dad’s Story

My dad, Harry Tamarua told me a story about when he wanted to know who his dad was. When he was born, he had no dad. His mum didn’t know what to name her son. So, she decided to name him Harry Tamarua. When my dad was growing up, he wanted to know who his dad was.

When my dad was seven years old, he started Matavera School. He asked his mum who his dad was, and heard his mum say out his dad’s name. So he went on Facebook and searched for the name. He became tired of searching, and decided to find happiness in planting.
