Kia Ora,

The volunteering groups from all Nelson high-schools have organised a project entitled ‘Will work for Children,’ aimed at youth in the Nelson and Tasman area.
This project is a way of helping children around the world in Syria & East Africa who do not have the same opportunities that we do and are in dire need. We have teamed up with World Vision in a way that allows us to serve locally but respond globally.
The statistics of how many children live in crisis are horrendous and it's time that we act against it. - 1/14th of our global population are children living in crisis: 500 million of our young brothers and sisters are in dire need.

All we ask of you is for you to show your support!! We need jobs for students on the 9th and/or the 10th of September. The rate is usually $10-15/hour but is negotiable, and the students are happy to clean, do gardening, menial work, or anything needed! Many of them also have specialist skills, and so can work in a range of different areas. The jobs can be both large or small scale, and once the job is completed, you then donate the payment directly to World Vision. If it is not possible to organise jobs for this weekend, we can arrange for work at other times.

If you would like to help out with doing some of the jobs; then that is great too! Please reply to this post, email adamkmcurrie@gmail.com, or visit our facebook event page at www.facebook.com...

In Syria, the hardship this looks like 6 years of relentless and brutal war, leaving the children experiencing more hardship, devastation and violence than any child should have to in a thousand lifetimes. In East Africa this looks like years of drought, civil conflict and poverty leading to what could be the largest humanitarian crisis since 1945.

These children need all the money and help that they can get and so many young people from the Nelson area giving up their weekends to raise money for these children.

I look forward to hearing from you and I hope there is something that we can assist with.

Thanks for your cooperation and Nga Mihi Nui,

Adam Currie (from the Nelson Secondary Schools Volunteering)

As part of the monthly community fund grant, FreshChoice Nelson donated $500 towards 17-year-old student Lauryn Hippolite, who has been selected to play for the New Zealand Under 18 Women’s Basketball team.

Hippolite and her team will be travelling to Guam this year for the Under 18 World Championship qualifying tournament which will cost $3000 in total.

Lauryn Hippolite moved from Nelson to Christchurch this year and attends Middleton Grange School. “This year I moved from Nelson so that I could gain the training and assistance required to attend a Division 1 College in America in 2018 and play basketball while gaining a good quality education”.

“This has been a major goal of mine for the last few years as I wish to play professionally when I am older”.

“Thank you for helping me achieve my goals and reach my dream” says Hippolite.
