Anna's Army raise $10k in just 24 hours

Just days ago Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer and yesterday underwent a double mastectomy in Auckland with chemo to come.

Crowdfunding a legal battle
Tamariki School in Christchurch is New Zealand's oldest 'free school' and one of the oldest in the world. The school, founded in 1966, provides a unique educational experience for its 41 pupils with a focus on the school fitting the child's own development path. New Ministry of Education reporting requirements will compromise the school's special character so the school requires legal assistance to retain its values. Request contact details


Kiwi selected for Royal Academy of Music in London
Uniquely talented 23 year-old Auckland pianist Somi Kim has been invited to attend the prestigious Royal Academy of Music this September.

Somi graduated in May with a First Class Masters in Piano Performance from the University of Auckland. A free public performance by Somi will be held at Telecom Place, Victoria Street West midday on Friday 19 April. Request contact details.


Changing a life with $1,200
When Michael and Mikaela Carter spent a month in Guatemala, it was a kind of language exchange: they learned Spanish and repaid the favour by teaching English in a local school. One of the students they worked with at the school was Socorro, a young Mayan woman in her final year of a teaching diploma. Socorro’s brother had been the main sponsor for her education and when he lost his hand in a recent accident at the bakery where he worked, his income went too. With just days before they returned home the Kiwi couple contacted friends to raise the $1,200 for Socorro to complete her studies. Request contact details.
