Last week Port Nicholson Rotary hosted a very special event to recognise the achievements of three Goal Setters, Sean Ainsworth, Nathan Russell and Hineana Tihore. We heard their difficult and inspiring journey’s from each of them. We are confident that our future is in good hands as they continued to achieve and succeed to make a difference in the world. The award ceremony and breakfast was held at the beautiful marae at Te Papa and the awards were presented by Adrian Orr, Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The awardees each received $3,5000 thanks to our generous sponsors.
Project Complete! We recently supplied and delivered a whole house with all the necessary equipment for a refugee family to move straight into. What a great result! Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Joy and Bev went to see to see pupils from Kahurangi School playing floorball after school at the ASB Stadium this week. They met with the Principal and a reporter to acknowledge our contribution towards pupils participating in a range of sports. Principal Kyran was extremely grateful.The $3,000 (50% RCPN and 50% District grant) is having a positive impact on the children. They have 90 children playing now, with 60 of those children able to play this spring/summer season solely because of our contribution. The Bev, Joy and the Floorball team featured in the Cook Strait News this week.
