Help Oke to Grow Mighty Kids...
Hey folks, this June Oke is proud to have been selected as a charity for the One New Zealand "One Good Kiwi" App and we would love it if you'd vote for Oke and help increase our share of the $100,000! π₯
It's been a really epic year for Oke so far and we're currently planning working bee #32 at Kereru Park Campus on Saturday 24th June. This will be our fifth school garden build of 2023, which is incredible as we're only in June and we've only ever built seven school gardens in a single year before now. We have an ever growing waiting list of schools (ten on the list at the moment, with each @ $20,000) and in order to support all our amazing school gardens, we're looking to grow the Oke Crew as well. In March we bought on board our new Oke School Mate, who assists the schools with gardening workshops, planting resources, term and season guides and that helping hand to keep things growing. π π
All you need to do to help, is hit that link below and throw the tokens our way, so we can grab as much of that $100k as possible and continue to Grow Mighty Kids! π± π
