Youth in Transition boosted by Rotary

Written By Kim Manunui

We enjoyed a fun quiz night in May, organised jointly by Rotary Orewa and Rotary Satellite Orewa-Millwater, which raised an amazing $2,200 for Youth in Transition. Presidents of both Clubs, Sharon Maxwell and Tracey Johnson respectively, made the presentation to Tina Jones, who said, “You guys in Rotary are wonderful; you are such great friends to us and we are so grateful.” Youth in Transition relies entirely on voluntary support as it receives nothing from Government, despite increased budget spending on mental health. Tina added, “We are fortunate now in having a brand new Op Shop in Manly, where we welcome donations and shoppers equally, especially on market days, which are the first Saturday of each month.”

Financial donations like this are critical to Youth in Transition, as we rely entirely on voluntary support as we receive nothing from Government, despite increased budget spending on mental health.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
