Looking for a way to describe the mahi and the way people of Aotearoa/New Zealand have responded to the Covid-19 crisis, I came across this whakatauki which I think is one empowering way to approach it. The challenge of our changed world is upon us and, under a new lens, opportunities and innovation are emerging. In this edition of our newsletter we bring you stories from all the projects NEXT supports in education and the environment - and how they rose to the challenge of the Covid-19 crisis. We also share with you two new seed investments - and a series of heartwarming stories from one of the environmental projects we support, Taranaki Mounga, where the benefits of their mahi are going well beyond just biodiversity gains. I hope you enjoy the read, and stay safe. Yours in education and the environment Bill Kermode Covid-19 |
