Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa Sponsorship
Te Wānanga o Raukawa is pleased to be joining with Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa as principal sponsor.
Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa has been providing opportunities for New Zealanders to share their generosity and concern for others, specifically tamariki by providing gifts at Christmas since 2014. Their slogan is “Because every kiwi kid deserves a choice Christmas”. Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa was developed by Pera Barrett of Ōtaki. It delivers Christmas presents, wrapped in a shoebox to tamariki in need on Christmas Day. Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa does this by working alongside schools, pre-schools, Women's Refuge, and community organisations who identify the tamariki who receive the boxes.
Aside from this, Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa has been offering rangatahi opportunities to learn valuable skills by leading a project, communicating efficiently, using data effectively and modelling from a values-based approach. The long-term vision for the sponsorship by Te Wānanga o Raukawa is to develop, nurture and build the relationship with Shoebox Christmas Aotearoa into a pathway for rangatahi from kura to wānanga and the development of a degree with a clear pathway into any one of Te Wānanga o Raukawa’ postgraduate options.
