    Thank you to everyone who saw our plea for help and responded with kindness, aroha, and putea! $750 on behalf of the Kotahi Queens supporters will go into the Community Builders NZ Trust main fundraiser for Sustain 2000 Campaign. This helps to continue serving the community through activations, Kai parcels, youth empowerment, safer cycling initiatives and community rides, celebrating the diverse cultures in our hood and so much more!

    It’s also bitter sweet as a final contribution on my behalf, as a new pathway has opened and I will be leaving The OKV in the new year to pursue a career in journalism. It’s my goal to return and report on all the amazing mahi of my team and others making a positive impact in South Auckland.

    To keep an eye on what the crew get upto from here, be sure to follow The OKV on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

    Once again, much thanks and love goes out to you for opening your heart and wallet to our fundraiser. Have the best Christmas and happiest Gregorian New Year.

    Yesterday (Monday 8 Nov) mum and I did our first walk! We cleared a combined 9km heading from our whare around Hillside down to Panama Rd park, round to Mt Wellington Highway and back. Mum walks so fast I was struggling to keep up! And it was strange because we both did the same walk but got different km on our trackers. Must be coz I’m iPhone gang I got the higher kms 😂 Thank you to our donors in the past 24 hours! Lasike, the Francks and Radhi! Y’all are the real MVPs!
