Hi Everyone,
I went to Queensgate to purchase some photos for my dying father Wednesday 13th of March and took my memory cards in a hand size box which has Re-sound written on the outside. I have missed placed this box somewhere in queensgate or in the carpark. I have spoken to all the shops I visited and the information centre and I have placed a lost property order at the police station. These memories sticks have several years of photos from my trips and memories of myself and my family and I am very heartbroken that I have lost them. Is there anyone out there who can tell me if they have seen them or picked up this box. The memory sticks do not have much memory and would probably not be much use to anyone.

Over the next few weeks we'll be introducing the amazing wahine who have accepted the challenge of our Trek to Transform trip to Vietnam which will take place in April.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!

As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."
