Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

I know it is a tad early yet but it would be nice to line up a tree or two that I can pick from. I am 82 now but still quite agile enough to come by, tip my hat and get on with the task of collecting grapefruit. I use a long picker tin to get the upper ones that often break open on hitting the ground. My regular grapefruit tree in a neighbour’s place is doing its bi annual sickie and only has only one piece of fruit this year. Text to 021 126 7576 would be helpful.
