Project K Students reaching their final goal

We are a group of young people that volunteered for the yearlong Project K journey

This journey pushed us right out of our comfort zones spending 17 days in the wilderness, travelling across river and mountains using only our legs. Day by day making our way back to Hornby High school. We learnt an incredible amount about resilience during this trip

Since then, we have paired up with a volunteer mentor, and the aim was to keep pushing us to work towards goals. Some goals were about achieving our NCEA's, some were about reach sporting and physical goals, and a few were about overcoming our fear of heights. We have fundraised already to achieve these goals and in December, 3 of us will jumping off the bridge in Hanmer Springs

We have learnt so much

The final idea that we threw together was that it would be great if we could all go to Hanmer together to support those that are jumping off the bridge. The Project K journey ends on December 2nd and this would be a great way to finish the journey together

This idea came up very last minute and time is against us. We are still fundraising at the minute through other means, our last day to submit our fundraising is the 11th of this month, and we will continue to do what we can

The costs to get us too and from Hanmer is still quite lofty, we figured if all of us share this through are social media network and if each of us managed to get around $60 from our social networks we would smash our goal
