If you've bought one of thehinitiative's Wellington City Mission tees, you've helped raise $555.95 in the past year (Feb'07 to Feb'08)! It may not seem much for the year (most of the sales were wholesale to stores, hence prices/sales/giving were a lot less), but it has definitely helped out in one of these ways:

• Placement of two students into permanent employment in the Mission's new ‘Transition to Work’ scheme.
• Two months transport costs for an Elder Support Worker visiting clients throughout Wellington.
• One years fee to the Correspondence School for a student at Mission for Youth.
• Eight food parcels for a medium sized family.
  
• 15 lunches in the Drop-in Centre (part of Mission for Independence).
  
• Three weeks breakfast for 15 troubled teenagers at their Alternative Education Centre.

Thanks to everyone for helping to turn lives around - let's keep at it! And if you're able to, please help the Wellington City Mission by volunteering or donating.
