For once, a "good news" story for Whangarei

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Have a look at today's article in the Daily Encourager about Whangarei youth initiating a unique partnership to improve their well-being:
dailyencourager.co.nz...
So it's not all doom and gloom in the north. There are great things going on up here, so let's talk about them and share them. There's way too much mindless drivel in the media that's dragging us down - let's focus on the good news instead.
If you know a local young person that is struggling to find his or her place in the world, please point them to the Whangarei Youth Space. This is their website: whangareiyouthspace.co.nz...
