water fest

By Aescleah Hawkins

Good after noon!
I have just come back from the trip of a lifetime!!!!
I went to JAPAN!!!!
It was an utterly amazing experience!
I spread the word over their and many people showed much interest in our conservation!
Today I talked at a water fest in New Brighton, and afterwards a lovely woman came up and put 100!! Dollars in my hand and said ”for the dolphins” I was just so shocked!!!!
Then we talked for a while and I found out that when she was pregnant she swam with the hectors and she said it was absolutely amazing! They guarded her like and got all protective!
I will research why that is and let you all know in my next blog!!
Thanks guys!

20th blog

By Aescleah Hawkins

Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who has kindly already donated, and to everyone supporting me!
I have recently returned from a lovely adventure with my family. We went down south, which is a first for me and my little bro! We saw penguins and seals, heard native birds sing and found the many uses of seaweed!
Last week WWF kindly sent me on “Regeneration Summer Jam”, and youth camp, which by the way I was dreading!
Turns out I didn’t want to leave!
I learnt about gardening and composts, ways to think sustainably when house building and meet many other young people who are also making a stand for what they believe in! It’s amazing to actually see the action that they are all taking to make a change! And also seeing how interconnected all of our projects are! Was an overall amazing experience!
Later in the week we (Tanya and the rest of the crew!) held a meeting to confirm walkers! Now there is only one space I believe! This is super!
Thanks Aescleah H!

happy new year!

as my fresh start begins so does the fact that i have offically started training!

and hopfully worked out how this blog works?!

i went for a nice long walk up and over the vally and hill today with mum!

as much as i enjoy our walks sometimes they can be hard, and last night i thought "ok, if she stays up then i wont have to go for a walk in the morning because she'l be tired"

this morrning i thougt" yuuusssss! mums still in bed, i'm pretty sure shes not gonna make me walk!"

by 11 today my hopes of not draging my bum up a hill were over, although i have to admit it was a rather nice walk, it did get a bit hot towards the end by other than that my legs didn't hurt too bad!

thanks for your support!
