Kia ora koutou. I am delighted to be back at Challenge 2000 and working on “educational projects”. It is a fairly wide brief, which is exciting, after 30 years in more conventional educational settings (secondary schools).

I greatly value the founding principles of this wonderful place – the dignity of each person and the belief that “love works”. The staff and supporters of Challenge live these radical principles daily and strongly offer hope to our society and our world. I endeavour to also make a contribution to that.
