Kia ora! Are you passionate about looking after our environment? At Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, our Te Aka Pūtaiao certificate programme provides students with a broad range of skills and knowledge examining traditional and contemporary models of science and the environment.
We are very excited to have our first cohort of Te Aka Pūtaiao students currently based in Kaeo focussing on conservation in their local area.
If you are a community group, marae or an individual who’d like to study with us we’d love to hear from you!

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.
KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

To note: The Global Loyalty-Rewards Fundraiser is not a donation-based fundraiser, rather, it is a membership fee-based fundraiser.
HOW VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP PROVIDE HOT LUNCHES TO CHILDREN IN WHANGAREI'S LOW-DECILE SCHOOLS:
Volunteers will be part of a coordinated effort, where they will deliver a written appeal to businesses in the retail, commercial and industrial areas of Whangarei. The appeal asks businesses if they would give a
5-10% discount, or a special offer (loyalty-rewards) to the people who fund the hot lunches project. Businesses thereby become the 'rewarders' in this loyalty-rewards fundraiser. These businesses are known as Supporter Businesses... they receive permanent, free advertising space on our charity website, with absolutely no fees to pay, to advertise their business and their support of our charity.
We will also be taking up a phone campaign, to reach all businesses listed in the Northland Yellow Pages Directory. Our aim is to reach all businesses in Whangarei, to ask them to become Supporter Businesses (conditions/vetting standards apply).
With a collective, coordinated effort, we hope to build a large directory of Supporter Businesses on our charity website. If we can get hundreds of Whangarei businesses registered on our charity website, offering discounts and special offers, this will attract the people who fund the children's hot lunches.
These funders are called Network Members. Thees members will be happy to pay the annual membership fee of $195, because they will be able to receive back the value of that membership fee in discounts and special offers (loyalty-rewards) offered by Supporter Businesses.
Reader, can you give three hours of your time to help us reach businesses? If you can, please know that you will be a valued part of a collective effort in support of our 'Hot Lunches in Schools' Project.
Thank you for reading. I welcome your questions.
