But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.
KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Kamokamo was brought to New Zealand by early European settlers, but quickly became more popular with Maori.
Today it is still grown in many Maori communities using traditional practices such as planting in mounds, planting in kōanga (spring) at the new and full moon in accordance with the maramataka (moon calendar).
The aunties at Manaaki make a delicious kamokamo pickle.
(Thanks to Kuia Carey for these kamokamo).

It's about what brought us together, the challenges we face and how we will weave our cultures and values into a future we will be proud to leave for the next generation.
Tuia 250 encourages kōrero, debate and reflection, and enable a more balanced telling of our stories, so that we speak openly and respectfully about our histories.
We will also recognise the extraordinary voyaging traditions and cultures of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific),and the feats of European explorers and the technology they developed.
