Please excuse the groan of your letterbox as Te Kowhai News July issue lands locally, weighing in at a hefty 28 pages, this is by far the biggest issue we've ever created.

Which is GREAT news!

When I took Te Kowhai News on in 2014 I was struggling to eek information out of the community. What a modest bunch we were! Now it seems the value of open and transparent communications is something valued and welcomed.

I love the fact that so many people are not contributing regularly to Te Kowhai News, giving up a little bit of their month to write a few words about their topic of choice, whether its their business, lifestyle, hobby or passion.

Please find in this post, Te Kowhai News July, featuring:
- Hearts to you Genevieve from Whatawhata Village Cafe! You're a local and national 'good sort'.
- Dame Malvina Major and the Old Girls and Boys luncheon.
_ Summerglow Apiaries opens its doors for fill-yer-boots-Fridays! Bring your own container and fill up with local yummy honey!
- Your water images
- The real story behind that weird power outage last month.
- Local dance classes for kids.
- And loads more!

Sharonika finds resilience through Graeme Dingle Foundation

Graeme Dingle Foundation

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity.

She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.
