Surge 40 Hour Challenge Noho – Friday 21st – Saturday 22nd June

This year World Vision’s 40 Hour Challenge is raising funds for Timor-Leste, a small island country North of Australia in Indonesia.
They will support regreening in this area to reduce the impacts of climate change and raising sea levels. To support this kaupapa, we'll be working with local council and support regreening / planting in our community as a fundraiser for World Vision.
To make it more of an event for our rangatahi we thought it would be a cool idea to have a noho together the night before as it's a great point of connection and hope to use this space to do some team bonding as well.

We have limited spaces available so register quick!

COST:
As this kaupapa is in support of World Vision’s 40 Hour Challenge, we’re wanting to keep costs as low as possible. This event will be free for all rangatahi!
We do have a team page with World Vision, in which donations can be made to our team – however if your young person wants, they are able to make their own page and be added as a member of our team so their individual donations will be counted in our team’s total.
If possible, it would be great if you or your young person could contribute a koha to our fundraising efforts. You can do this through our page at the link below!
