Fundraising for Oaklynn Special School so they can buy a desperately needed 12 seater van for students.
Auckland
Hi everyone! My name's Donna and I'm fundraising for Oaklynn Special School for students with mental or physical disabilities. I have a class that I have started to regularly visit who are honestly the most sweetest children you will meet. The school has many satellite classes based in local high schools aswell that give them all the support they need. It's important to note that this school not only supports its children (up to age 21) but also the families of the children. They help someone that requires special care transition into the everyday community of adult life which means being able to find a job/career. The work these teachers and staff do is enormous but also in their words - "rewarding". They take outings every 2 weeks which not only makes them so happy but also teaches them in a more hands on way which is what they need. They currently don't have a big enough van to fit all the children which is why this is so necessary. With the money raised, I plan to get the school a desperately needed 12 seater mini van.
I first heard about the Oaklynn Special School from the Miss World NZ organisation who adopted it as our Beauty With a Purpose charity. We have a student from the school taking on the Miss World NZ competition and her name is Swati. Swati has no use of her legs but is an inspiring radio personality. She has so much spark and kindness in her that she is my real inspiration for helping the Oaklynn Special School.
