We want to say a big thank you to all of the people who have donated food over the last few weeks. New Hope Church in Botany delivered to my place hundreds of dollars of groceries for Glen Innes School. Hubbards Cereals  gave us 5 pallets of cereals and also delivered more to us this…

One of the things we noticed on our first visits to our new school in Glen Innes was that none of the children had any proper shoes, if they had any on at all. This was at the start of winter and we knew that we had to try and help with this as soon…

At the end of June, two Year 8 students from Albany Junior High School, Maitreyi Jain and Hannah Waller, sent out an email to a number of organisations involved in Poverty and Food in Schools, asking them to assist their school in their chosen topic … “NZ charities – does NZ do enough for local poverty”.

Just prior to our Herald Article, Brenda and I went to our local MP and advised him what was about to be published in the Herald the next day, concerning a group of people in his Electorate, and what they were doing that was making a difference in Manurewa.

Since the Herald did that feature article on our Breakfast Club my part time, unpaid, volunteer position at Breakfast Club has turned into a 50 hour a week incredible journey and I am loving every minute of it.  Read what I do in a week and you can see why I am so excited.

My mother once told me that “what is today’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chip paper” … it was good reading the article in last Saturday’s paper … but now back to reality.
