Graeme Dingle Foundation delivers online as kids put resilience skills in action

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

A programme designed to teach kids resilience has jumped at the opportunity to keep reaching students throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

The Graeme Dingle Foundation, which delivers three different life skills programmes to Marlborough students, has moved its teachings to virtual platforms in light of the coronavirus lockdown.

The Kiwi Can programme, which operates in 15 Marlborough primary schools, has continued to deliver content to students through short videos.

Kiwi Can leader Fili Fotu-Moala says he misses seeing students face-to-face, but making videos allowed them to reach whole families.
