Charity pleads for funding to continue running school programmes

Reporter Papakura Courier

Kia ora Papakura,

The Graeme Dingle Foundation needs to raise $350,000 to retain its presence in six schools around the area.

The charity is urging people to support the programmes that it provides to youths of low-decile schools in Papakura, with the programmes helping pupils develop public speaking ability, build confidence and hone communication skills.
