Kolkata Walk Of Freedom
I have visited and helped where I can in South East Asia three times over the last 4-5 years working with Freeset ( A company that was started by an Ashburton couple 15 years ago ) and have seen the incredible work they are doing
Freeset are helping free woman who are in the Trade and have been abused. Freeset can offer these women a choice of a better life including a job, education , health care and a sense of self worth.
My objective before I return in January 2019 is to raise funds, so more woman get the choice of a better life. For every $1000 raised will buy a sewing machine and someones freedom
My intention is to walk 2700k's by the end of November 2018 and hoping people will sponsor in pledges only if I complete that goal.

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!
This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.
Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
