ANZAC Day is an important day in the life of Challenge 2000. Since we began in 1988 we have organised and attended events to acknowledge the ANZACS who have served since WWI and to commit to bring about a community, country and world of peace, hope and justice.
This year we have had a poetry competition from 5-12 year olds, an ANZAC Holiday programme and are offering two Remembrance events of April 25th. At these events We will honour and remember those who served in war, conflict and peace and acknowledge the loss, trauma and sacrifices of all who left our shores and who stayed at home. We will also pray for peace today.
We will remember them: Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou

I found Judge Heemi inspirational and much of what he described was what we try to do at Challenge 2000, in all the different ways we journey with our young people and whānau. It’s so important that everyone is treated with dignity and respect and understand what is happening, so they can fully participate in our sometimes complicated systems.
It was great to hear from Judge Heemi the importance of loving what you do and having a dream and passion for what we study or do in our work and personal lives. Hard work and commitment makes any change possible.
Although it’s the end of a really busy year I walked away with my tank topped up and ready to go. Kia ora Judge Heemi.

Life is very challenging for many of those we serve.
We need to urgently build up our food supplies for our food bank.
We invite you to GIVE UP two drinks and a scone/cake per week and this will TOP UP our parcels for children, young people and families. Small acts of kindness make a big difference.
Please help if you can.
