Unlocking Sam’s potential

Graeme Dingle Foundation

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.

New Zealand?

Rae from Maungaraki

Is this NZ or some alternative 3rd world reality? No lamb in any shop in Wgtn/NZ? at Christmas! Supermarkets have stopped selling even sliced lamb! I rang every supermarket, butchers and Mad Butcher. Most had none; some only shaved, tough old, shoulder chops needing 8 hours slow cooking. I was repeatedly told we cant get it! Some said its too dear to stock!
Next thing we know the supermarkets will be importing our lamb from UK at half the price.
Time to reinstate CARP? (campaign against rising prices)
Try to have a happy, alternative, Christmas.
