On Sunday 28th February, Challenge 2000 celebrated an early Children’s Day. Children of all ages were entertained with a bouncy castle, face painting, bead/jewellery making, a tug-of-war, sack races, paper plane making and shared food, drink and fruit. Smiles were ear to ear and laughter was heard all around. One of the best things of the whole day was the presence of twenty five volunteer youth leaders who organised all the activities and made sure that the young ones had a great time. A great day for children and their families!!

They hold the awe of life
Kia mau i a ratou te wana
They hold the love of life
The greatest thing we can do is love them and spend time with them.
