Okoroire Community Hall

Each year another rural community hall is affected by the transformation of small farms with more people, to large farms and less people. Coupled with this migration, is our willingness to move about within larger concentric locations expanding our view of what community is. All this culminates in the demise of these once seemingly iconic structures. It is my hope to capture these buildings in the area before they completely disappear.
