Eye Care For Africa - Te Araroa
Jeremy asks
Hi Niall, Have you raised what you need now?
Eye Care For Africa
Great to hear from you Jeremy! Not quite got to the target but getting closer. Building should start in Tanzania in the very near future. Hope all well with you - almost a year since you walked part of Te Araroa with me!
Jeremy asks
Hi Niall, Great! Just state the time on Tuesday or Wednesday, and the meeting place (anywhere is fine) and I'll be there. If you don't know any cafes here, then assuming you're coming down Great South Rd (aka the main shopping street), I'd suggest Pizza Box). If you need a bed for the night we can put you up. Cheers Jeremy

Looking more like Wednesday now, Jeremy. Will message you as soon as I have a rough time for Papakura - probably mid-morning.. My mobile is 0272734341.
Jeremy asks
Papakura. Pretty much every route south goes through Papakura :)
Eye Care For Africa
I should be down your way tomorrow (Tuesday) or Wednesday at the latest, if you're around?
Jeremy asks
When do you come through Auckland? If you haven't already passed through I’ll look out for you!
Eye Care For Africa
Probably in about 2 to 2 and a half weeks. Whereabouts in Auckland are you?
Jeremy asks
Hi Niall, Your givealittle page says you're a registered charity with NZ Charities Commission (which is great) but wouldn't that mean that donations to it are tax-deductible? My donation just now says donations to your page don't qualify. All the best Jeremy
Eye Care For Africa
Jeremy, firstly thank you so much for you amazing donation and apologies for the delay as I’ve been off-grid most of the time. We did try to get tax deduction for donations but as we mainly operate overseas it’s not been possible for a fledgling charity. We have been advised we can try again in the future once we have more of a track record. Currently in Bay of Islands and making good progress!
Thanks again for you donation!
Kind regards
Niall
