Great Start Taita set to launch “Project Sunshine” with help of model UN delegates

One of the Hutt Valley’s busiest Community-led developments, Great Start House Taita, will launch a new community project designed by children on Saturday 2 July.

“Project Sunshine” was designed by the Great Start Taita children’s gardening club. The club has, in the past, planted hundreds of sunflower seedlings through the streets to make Taita more beautiful, at the same time as promoting awareness of what residents can do to encourage the honey bee population. The project supports residents to build connections with each-other and with their physical environment and become aware of the plight of bees.

Project Sunshine will be formally launched when twenty volunteers from the United Nations Association visit Great Start Taita to do voluntary work in the community. The youth volunteers will be in Wellington for the model United Nations. Their voluntary work will provide an experience of work in a local community, to complement their learning about global issues.
