Research into eyes and eyesight in Aotearoa-New Zealand needs to be visionary.

Which is why the new Vision Research Foundation New Zealand (VRF) has been established – to move beyond the safe and incremental, to attract the funding and knowledge needed to make life-changing discoveries, and to unlock the potential medical talent shut out by inequity.

Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer founded the Foundation as a charitable trust in 2022 and is now its Scientific Director.

It was established with the support of a generous philanthropist and has since started to attract direct donations and bequests. Now the VRF has set up a philanthropic investment fund at Momentum Waikato, which is open for public donations from anywhere.

“We are at a time when technology is developing faster than most research ideas,” says Helen.

“The Vision Research Foundation is therefore aimed at using those rapidly developing technological advances to disrupt traditional modes of eye care and research.

“Our philosophy is that by challenging established paradigms we can make transformative discoveries in vision science."

Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

Support young people like Sam by donating today.

Managing your own finances wisely is a life skill that is becoming ever more important for survival and wellbeing in the modern world, and yet many people don’t know how to make money work for them and often pay a high price for that lack of understanding.

Cambridge philanthropists John and Nicola Kenel see this knowledge gap as a serious issue for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and the nation, so last year they set up the ‘Waikato Financial Literacy Fund’ at Momentum Waikato.

You're invited to also support this initiative that aims to tackle this issue by funding financial literacy courses and tools for young people.

It is very effective in preventing cramps, and is excellent to relieve muscle pain if the pain is a result of magnesium shortage and restless leg syndrome. It is best to use it as a preventative treatment, but can be used for quick relieve of cramps, muscle pain and restless leg syndrome.

Butro Magnesium Balm is not a medicine, but simply a magnesium balm that I make, and judging by the responses I get form others who use it, should carry on making. I make no medical claims about the results when using the balm, but simply tell you of the results I and others have experienced.

Some of the benefits I and others have experienced:
• Relieves muscle aches and pains
• Relieves and prevents cramps
• Relieves restless leg syndrome symptoms
• Helps to enhance sleep

You can get more information when you visit my website https//:butrobalmsandoils.co.nz

Also available in 50g jars @ $8.
