Students from Red Beach’s Kingsway School spent Saturday, June 17 putting together 200 care packages for the Auckland City Mission as part of this year’s World Vision 40 Hour Challenge.
Year 13 student Connor Thompson had the idea of getting 40 students packing hygiene care packages to raise funds.
The idea was supported by the school and Connor’s fellow students who rallied to help.
The packages were delivered to the Auckland City Mission the following day, and the school raised more than $5000 for World Vision.
Connor says he is very proud and thankful to his peers for giving up their time to help.
The World Vision 40 Hour Challenge is NZ’s biggest youth fundraising event and this year the focus is on bringing clean water to children such as those in Malawi, where every day, 11 children under the age of five die from diseases related to dirty water.
