It's been ten years since the Young New Zealanders Foundation began its work on behalf of the young people of New Zealand and I have been involved since the beginning.  During that time it has developed the programmes and materials which it has provided free to schools and individuals who need them.  I have been delighted to watch its programmes and resources spread throughout New Zealand.

But in our wonderful country there are still young people who desperately need help to cope with situations which are not of their making.  So it's appropriate that this year some great new programmes are being launched.
