Paying it forward
Lesieli and Tāne embody the power of paying it forward through the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
Lesieli, ex Kiwi Can student, is now a Kiwi Can Leader teaching life skills such as respect and resilience to tamariki. Tāne, an ex Career Navigator student, returned to the Foundation as a Kiwi Can Leader, driven by his desire to make a positive impact. Their experiences have ignited a passion to empower the next generation of young people and give back to the Foundation.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
