    We launched this campaign earlier this week and we're delighted with the support we've received. We're sharing a post from one of our scholars, now a mentor Warwick Isaachsen (second from the left with his mentee).

    "We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm. Some of us are in yachts, some in dinghys. I was one of the latter in 2009 in the middle of the GFC.

    Despite this, Deborah Park and I were afforded an incredible opportunity thanks to Karl Armstrong, Jo Mason and Neil Carter of NZI. Every year since then, NZI has generously supported recipients of the Austin Hemmings memorial scholarship through First Foundation. Now, the Foundation itself is asking for help.

    If you are in a position to give, like, or share, please consider doing so to give a hand up to the next generation of incredible Kiwis.

    Why not get in touch with Kirk Sargent to talk about leaving a legacy of kindness in a world struggling for hope?

    Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi - With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive"
