WOW Expo


Hi Everyone,
We are going to support the learners at Waiau School who have been affected by the recent earthquakes - see below for details.
The gold coin donations received at our WOW Expo this Thursday will go to this worthy cause (in place of a 'Mufti Day' as proposed by Waiau School)

On November the 14th, a major 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand with major damage to several South Island towns and Wellington. Waiau was particularly hard hit with severe damage to many houses, infrastructure and local businesses.

    

The local swimming pool which doubles as the community and school pool was completely destroyed. This was a major blow to the village as due to Waiau’s isolation, there are no other swimming options.

    

Waiau needs something positive to think about and look forward to, in particular the children who have been really struggling since the first quake and the continuing aftershocks.

 

We are proposing a nationwide business and school mufti day on November 30 to raise funds for the pool rebuild.

    

It would be hugely supportive if your company or school could take part and all proceeds donated via the Give a Little Page will go directly to Waiau School for the new pool.    

 

Thank you for your support,


Mary Kimber - Waiau School Principal

& Verdon Kelliher - Former Waiau School Pool Caretaker
