In the Community Kiwi teams jump on board to help Australian farmers KickStart Breakfast Awards The Sanitarium NZ team heard about some of the self-driven fundraising activity happening at Sanitarium Australia - and we wanted to help too. Our teams have found creative ways to raise funds to send across the ditch to help out the farmers in Australia who are suffering as a result of the drought. The NPD team have been cooking up a storm and selling lunches to staff, sales have been tapping into their contacts like the Alternative Meat Co. and selling discounted product along with delivering healthy snacks for a cost to office staff during the workday. We’re looking forward to the Commercial team’s hat day experience and the marketing gala sale. If you have a fundraising idea for the cause, simply email Internal. [email protected] and let us know, we’ll check the calendars and would be happy to share the details with the team. Every year the KickStart Breakfast Programme Awards celebrate the people who make the programme happen. The Breakfast Clubs rely on the work of devoted and inspirational volunteers, student leaders and school staff to make this programme successful. There are three main categories; The Unsung Hero Award, Student Champion Award and the overall Breakfast Club Award. Both Rob Scoines and Jessica Manihera were present at two of the ceremonies across the country and both returned inspired and energised by seeing the success of the programme and the impact it has on our Kiwi kids – their learning improvements and the safe environment that it provides. Sanitarium partners with Fonterra to provide Weet-Bix™ and milk for the KickStart Breakfast Clubs and more recently we’ve been joined by the Ministry for Children Oranga Tamariki in support of this programme.

For over 25 years Sanitarium has been sponsoring the Youth Ambassador programme run by World Vision which allows 20 high school graduates from across NZ to become part of a global voice for injustice every year. The Programme provides young New Zealanders with the tools to lead the 40 Hour Famine and increase their knowledge about social justice. It’s an opportunity to learn about World Vision’s work around the world by travelling across areas in need of aid support. Last year Josh McCombie from the Sanitarium NZ Commercial Josh McCombie in Uganda last year Team joined the Youth Ambassadors on their journey to Uganda and we’ve been encouraged by the message that Josh brought back from this mission. This year we have once again been invited to send a representative from the Sanitarium family to travel with the World Vison team to Uganda in December.
