Kua horapa te hiahia ki te kaukau wai matao ki te pāpāho pāpori

I ngā wā tata nei, kua horapa haere tētahi āhuatanga ohorere puta noa i ngā papaaho pāpori – arā, te kaukau wai matao. Kāore i te herea ki ngā kaitākaro, ki ngā toa rānei, engari kua uru te ruku hukapapa ki roto i ngā mahi o ia rā o te tini, ā, kua puta he kōrero, he tautohetohe, me te tini o ngā wheako whaiaro.

 

I runga i ngā papaaho pēnei i a Instagram me Twitter, kei te piki haere te rongonui o te tohu #ColdWaterChallenge, me te whakapuaki mai a ngā tāngata o ngā momo āhua katoa i ā rātou wheako ki te ia o te makariri. Ko te mea e ātaahua ana te kaukau wai matao ehara i te mea ko ōna painga hauora anake, engari ko te whanaungatanga i waenga i ngā kaiwhaiwhai.

 

He tokomaha ngā kaitautoko o te ruku wai matao e whakanui ana i tōna kaha ki te whakakaha i te tinana, ki te whakanui ake i te mataara, me te whakatere i te pākia o te tinana. I a ngā kaiwhakamahi e whakapuaki ana i ā rātou tikanga me ngā tikanga, kua puta ake he whānuitanga o ngā whakaaro, ko ētahi e oati ana mō te mahi hei tikanga whakaora, ko ētahi e ruarua ana mō tōna whai huatanga pono.

 

Ko tētahi kaupapa e puta tonu ana i roto i ngā kōrero ipurangi ko te ohorere tuatahi o te wai matao. Ka kōrero ngā kaiwhakamahi i ō rātou wheako tuatahi, e whakaahua ana i te wā e whakakorikori ana te wai hukapapa i te wā e tūtaki ai te kiri mahana. He maha ngā wā ka tūpono ēnei kōrero i waenga i te harikoa me te kore whakamarie, ka hangaia he wāhi mariko e hono ai ngā tāngata takitahi i runga i te ngoikore o te aro atu ki te makariri.

 

Haunga ngā painga ā-tinana, ka tere te whakanui a ngā kaiwhakamahi i ngā āhuatanga hinengaro me ngā āhuatanga kare ā-roto o te kaukau wai matao. E kī ana ētahi he momo whakangungu manawanui o ia rā tēnei mahi, e ako ana i a rātou ki te awhi i te mamae me te kimi kaha i roto i te ngoikore. E kōrero ana ētahi mō te kounga whakaaroaro o te wheako, e whakarite ana i tēnei ki tētahi wā o te aro nui i waenganui i te pōrearea o te oranga o ia rā.

 

Ae, kāore he ia o ngā mahi e kore e whakahēngia. E whakatūpato ana ngā kaiwhakahē mō ngā tūponotanga o te rumaki ki te wai matao, me te whakahua i ngā āwangawanga mō te hypothermia, te ohorere, me te pānga ki ētahi mate hauora. I te haere tonu o te tautohetohe, ka kitea ko te ia o te kaukau wai matao ehara i te mea he mea noa iho engari he kaupapa wehewehe e whakaoho ana i ngā whakaaro kaha i ngā taha e rua o te whānuitanga.

 

Hei whakamutunga, kua hipa ake te kaukau wai matao i tōna pūtake whaihua, ā, kua noho hei āhuatanga ahurea, ko ngā pāpāho pāpori te pokapū mariko o tana kōrero. I a te tangata e ruku tonu ana ki roto i ngā wai hukapapa, ahakoa mō ngā painga hauora, mō te whakahihiri rānei o te wero, kāore te ia e whakaatu ana i ngā tohu o te puhoi haere. Ahakoa he kaitautoko kaha koe, he kaimātakitaki tupato rānei, ka tono mai te hiahia nui ki te kaukau wai matao ki a tātou katoa kia whakaaroaro ki ngā rohe o ō tātou rohe whakamarie, kia tūhuratia hoki te āhua maha o ngā wheako tangata.
