More about us
We are a new registed youth group who are taking on projects we are clearing the public walkway track that many overseas travellers climb this track is the the taupiri moutain,we are recontructing the whole walkway puting in new stairs, handrails for the young and old new picnic areas, tables clearing the gorse planting native trees making it more safe for everybody to climb safely this project means alot to us and our youth as it carrys a piece of us and our history. my biggest and formost NO1 is keeping the youth busy out of trouple and doing something positive which will have a positive impact on us this reduces burgarlaries,truancy,and vandalizm also teaches the kids respect and that respect is given when you 1stly respect yourself and others. we are also fundraising for a building , facility for our new youth group ,we also want to get each kid a youth tshirt to represent, who we are and what we beleive in and our big long journey how we got to where we are today
