We have now been delivering healthy kai to all of our learners for 3 weeks. We see lots of happy grateful young people who are enjoying the opportunity to eat the lunches provided.

Thanks to Cath and the team from Ristretto who have undertaken the mammoth task of creating over 760 lunches every day - ka mau te wehi. However feeding teenagers is an interesting exercise: what is popular one week is not the next. But that is the way of the world (and not just for teens, we can all change our minds, and often do), so we plan to run regular surveys of students as our caterers work to refine menus to better meet our needs.

In the meantime, we hope that we are going some way to meet the needs of our community… he waka eke noa!
