A week-long event that celebrates love, acceptance and unity amongst the Rainbow community in the Cook Islands will kick off next week. 

New Zealand entertainer Pio Terei and his wife Deb are the founders of a charitable trust called ‘Trust Teina’, a charity started in loving memory of their beloved son Teina Terei who tragically lost his battle with Leukaemia at the age of 17.

Around three thousand people, from as far away as Auckland and Rotorua, will attend celebrations in Porirua, Wellington this weekend to celebrate Tokelau culture.
