    Kia ora,

    Just wanted to give an update on how your support has helped our AUT law student team.

    Firstly, our petition presentation to Parliament was a success. Here is a link to our written submission’s supporting our reasoning behind what we are asking our government for, as well as responses from The Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Environment: https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/submissions-and-advice/all?custom=PET_116692

    Secondly, 2 AUT students chose to work on trying to impact legislation until the end of semester 2. This led us to meeting the Chief Science Advisor to the Prime Minister, being included in a report from her office, and one students being on the panel for a WasteMINZ NZ Food Waste Summit, offering a grass roots, lived experience and human rights lens.

    Change is coming…we can feel it! And we wouldn’t have been able to be a part of it without supporters like yourselves.

    THANKYOU

  • 2019 ENTR501 students

    In 2019 sem 1 of ENTR501 (Introduction to Entrepreneurship), taught by Smita Singh, we pitched our idea of a student led extension of Sunday Blessings with a focus on food rescue to judges.

    Here’s us before we rolled out our idea in Sem 2 of 2019, the BBus students behind utilising AUT’s surplus food to feed our housing and food insecure.

    Now, 3 years later we have LLB students submitting for law change around food waste and the human right of accessibility to food.

    Sunday Blessings and the hundreds of students who have worked hard to legitimise us, are proof that you can learn in practise and make a small difference within social issues whilst learning.

    Thank you again for your support
