What 7 year old Mia's Asking You To Do, While She Chops Her Hair for Kiwi Kids & Climate Change

Auckland

I don’t want to chop my hair off.  BUT I WANT TO HELP KIDS MORE.

My name is Mia and I am 7 years old. Kiwi kids need our help.

So I'm chopping & donating 36 cm of hair to help make a wig for someone who needs it more.

I’m also hoping to raise funds for both: 350 Aotearoa & Cure Kids. Please Help by:

1. Sharing my page with your friends and family.

2. Giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button.  Any donation is a help.

3. Doing fun quizzes & calculators below. To test what you know & what you can do:

- "The most effective ways to curb climate change might surprise you" From CNN International:

- NZ Environment Quiz: https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/environmental-quiz

- Carbon Footprint Calculator https://www.toitu.co.nz/tools-and-resources/for-individuals

A BIG THANK YOU for reading this.

From me & Kiwi kids everywhere,

Mia :)
