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.

If these aging processes could be slowed or even reversed, it means that we would be able to slow and even reverse the effects of aging. Recent research suggests this is possible by undoing changes in gene activity—the same kinds of changes that are caused by decades of life in humans.
The A.G.E. Pill from Sisel International builds upon a major scientific breakthrough by University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers. This NASA funded research was conducted to assist in protecting astronauts from cellular damage while on their mission to Mars. Researchers found that a compound called NAD+ plays a key role in protecting our bodies from cellular damage. (Read more about this research on agepillsuccess.com and scientificamerican.com).
Children seem to have boundless energy to go all day long. As we grow older, our stem cells become cluttered with cellular garbage causing decay and degeneration that lead to aging. (Stem cells are the master cells in our body that are able to transform every other cell and energize our biological systems.) By providing specialized super nutrients to the stem cells the natural processes of the body operate more efficiently and so slow this decay and degeneration.
The ingredients in the A.G.E. Pill supercharge this process and provide mainly three classes of advanced super nutrients to the stem cells, delivering intense support for:
1. Removal of glycation build-ups that inhibit intercellular proteins.
2. Reduction of toxins and cellular sludge resulting from lipofuscin.
3. Increase in ATP, providing biological hydrogen to help amplify cellular energy.
This could help you too to do what you want to do and be what you want to be, being revitalized and feeling youthful again.
