At BestStart Kawaha Point it is important to us to look after our community. Our support of the SPCA is a great way for our children to develop their empathy and understand about the importance of giving and helping those in need through meaningful experiences. Duringthe SPCA Appeal Week we set out to raise money for the animals in our local community. Through this experience the children learnt that the animals looked after by the SPCA need food, water, medicine and shelter and that money is needed to provide this.  Some of our tamariki were able to relate that they have to buy food from the supermarket and medicine for their own pets. 

This was a very meaningful experience for our tamariki with the wider community responding well to the collection for the SPCA appeal week.
