Raising nearly $15,000 in a small town is no mean feat, but Sam Henderson and Kyle Darwin (below), both from Whitianga in the Coromandel, worked hard to fundraise for their AFS exchanges to Peru. They had a stall at a local festival, put on a Peruvian night at a cafe, organised raffles and funding from local trusts and organisations and did odd jobs around town.

”Fundraising has been hard work but we had fun along the way, and learned how generous and supportive people are. Hopefully we might be able to return the favour somewhere, sometime,” said the students.
