Journey of Hope - Update

District 9940 have so far contributed $6,004.50
 
Well the RC of Takapuna and Takapuna Primary managed to raise $441.10 in a couple of hours yesterday through bucket rattling and a gold coin collection. RC Takapuna is going to make it up to $500 by fining all those who couldn’t make the bucket rattling J Or something like that.
What a great couple of young men! I know Ollie and Xaver made an impression on the Takapuna Primary kids and who knows it may inspire some of them to have a social conscience in their futures.   Here are a couple of pics that I took. In one Ollie is showing the kids the map of their route back of their incredibly apt shirts – what a great plug for End Polio and Rotary those shirts are! And the second is an album shot for the school. Pictured with the lads is PDG 9910 Merv Huxford, who has just managed to raise $96,000+ through a bike ride across the widest point of the North Island. He rode with the lads from Silverdale to Devonport.
