Mormon 'Helping Hands'

Mormon 'Helping Hands'

Every year thousands of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) participate in community improvement projects known as 'Mormon Helping Hands'. Mormons around the world join members of other faiths in these initiatives. In late 2011 and early 2012 Mormons and others from the lower North Island assembled donated books for delivery to schools in Fiji. Volunteers are seen here wearing bright yellow 'Helping Hands' vests to identify themselves with this project.

Hi Janice, I'm not exactly sure what you are seeking, is it the book of Mormon in Māori, on the previous page? (https://admin.teara.govt.nz/en/interactive/31114/the-book-of-mormon-in-maori). If so, please get in touch with Alexander Turnbull Library at the National Library of New Zealand (https://natlib.govt.nz/). Reference: Wesley Richards, Te hahi Momoni : whakatika, e te iwi! Kua tae mai te hoa-riri. Te Aroha: Maori Tract Depot, c. 1950. Thanks.

My sister is down in Hamilton and would like to read this version. She is an active member of LDS so I am trying to find this version for her. Thank you.
