“I encourage all those who care about the plight of our children to go to the website www.feedthekids.org.nz” says MANA Leader and MP for Te Tai Tokerau Hone Harawira. “Ever since my ‘Feed the Kids’ bill got drawn from the ballot, I’ve had a steady stream of phone calls and emails from people asking how they can support the bill – now I can just point them straight to the website”.

 “The website has a lot of really valuable information about child poverty in Aotearoa. It backgrounds why MANA and a whole lot of other child health groups, teachers and social services are asking government to help out by providing free meals to our most vulnerable children.  And it also details how the scheme would work without being a burden on already overstretched teachers”.

“And tell your friends and family about the website too – the more people know about the problem, the more chance there is that something will get done”.
