Challenge 2000 hosted a powhiri to officially welcome Junior, Moriah, Taylor, Vaga and Tala as part of the Challenge and Marist whanau and then on Friday we welcomed Leah to the Gap Year Programme. These Six have chosen to live a year dedicated to service, justice, challenges and growth. We are very happy to have them here and look forward to walking alongside them on their individual and group journeys! Already they’re off on Court Supervised Camps, up in Hawkes Bay to help Luke and Manisha, giving a helping hand at L’arche and developing as trainee youth workers around Challenge. A huge thanks to Jacob Wilkins-Hodges and Fr Paul Martin for your words of welcome.
