This month I had the pleasure of meeting with our South Auckland and Waikato/Hauraki Key contacts.
We have some very passionate and wonderful people on our team. Sadly though, we have had to say goodbye to Wendy-May Scott who has had to resign from the role due to family matters. Thanks for all your hard work Wendy-May and we wish you and your family the best.
This month I also had the pleasure of attending an Elevate bike event. The event was sponsored by Sistema plastics. The company has just expanded and wanted to give back to the community and chose Fostering Kids NZ to support children receiving bikes. They ran a team building day for their supervisors and senior staff. All were very friendly and made our children feel welcome.
Remember that you to could nominate a child to receive a bike. Go on to our Fostering Kids NZ website and complete this form.
At our next meeting, a discussion session will be held on the 12th September 1pm- 2.30pm at 8 Dingwall Place Papatoetoe. If you enter the driveway and park by the hall, you can join Emma Berry and myself at Thode House. The discussion session will be on FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). We will increase your awareness of what FASD actually is and how this may be exhibited in children. Please register via this link on Fostering Kids NZ website.
