Building future guardians - it takes a village

Anataia, a student here in Wānaka, has an infectious passion for the water. She understands the need to protect your water NOW before it’s too late. Here is what Anataia has to say about what the lake means to her:

"I want to protect the water so that the people after us can come down and hang out next to the lake… so it's a beautiful place." - Anataia, 15 years.
