The Present Drop
Christmas is a special time of year, especially for children. It’s really important that all of our kids can share in the joy of Christmas. Today I joined with David Tua to give out presents to the children at the Manukau Institute of Technology Children's Education Centre in Otara.
Big appreciation to the Trust that supported the first Otara Christmas Present Drop and helped bring some extra happiness into the lives of our kids there.
You can donate and help more kids get a Christmas present by visiting the link below.
