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.

Hi all,

My son won his school science fair and is now getting ready for regionals. His topic is “Cockroaches are our friends” and he’s seeing if cockroaches change the pH level of soil.

He needs cockroaches! The Gisbourne ones, which are dark, flat and have white around the top. If you can catch them or if you have a beehive or a shed where he can catch them for you, please get in touch. He will give you a mini mars bar for each cockroach found and we can pick up from your letterbox. Thanks so much. I will update this post when we have enough but at the moment he still needs about 60.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?
