Especially after the amazing job Paparoa did nurturing and keeping safe our own two girls, for 9 years including throughout the unsettling earthquake times. Not only did they keep them safe at all times they turned them into smart confidant learners who are now excelling at intermediate and high school. Its now our turn to give back to them. Maybe also a reminder thinking about power points in your own home if they are loose or have seen better times maybe its time you get them updated before you too get a nasty shock.
