Challenge for Children’s Trust DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka helicopter instructor Darryl Sherwin has taken off on a round-the-world adventure with pal Leon Ford to raise money for Upper Clutha Children’s Medical Trust. The pair will drive their Suzuki Jimney from Goodwood Motor Circuit in England, through 18 countries and three mountain ranges, to their final destination, Russia’s Ulan Ude in this year’s Mongol Rally. Darryl and Leon, also known as Team Kiwi Kite Surfers, flew out of Auckland on Saturday (July 9) to make sure they have plenty of time to prepare and recover from jetlag before the challenge
begins this Saturday (July 16). Darryl said, “we’re looking forward to picking up our Jimney and giving it a good shakedown in preparation for our adventure.” So far, the friends have raised $2675 of their $10,000 target for Upper Clutha Children’s Medical Trust, which appealed to them both because of the “brilliant work they do with children and families who are ill and suffering financial hardship.” The pair said, “we have both witnessed firsthand on many inter-hospital transfers the distress and financial burden placed on a family in times of extreme personal circumstances.” To donate, visit givealittle.co.nz/cause/ kiwikitesurfers-mongolrally.

CLT grant for Search and Rescue STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka Search and Rescue has benefitted from Central Lakes Trust’s latest funding round with a grant of $19,148. “We achieve a high level of success from our rescue operations. By far the majority of our tasks result in a successful recovery of missing persons,” Geoff Hatten, treasurer of Wanaka Search and Rescue said. “In all cases we receive extremely positive feedback from missing persons or their families.” The funding will be used to cover the cost of helicopter time for training volunteers and to purchase specialised rescue equipment. “Wanaka Search and Rescue does a great job in helping to save lives. We acknowledge the impor-
tant role they play and we view the quality training that is provided to their volunteers as an essential part of their success,” CLT chairman, Dr Malcolm Macpherson, said. It was one of the ten grants approved by CLT this month which totalled $149,419. Wanaka Primary School’s playscape project also received a major boost with a grant of $50,000. The development, which includes a windsock, sculptures, a log bridge, hill ladder, a slide and pendulum swing, a reading hut and science equipment, will provide an outdoor play area for the younger children at the school. “The advancement of education is one of the four heads of charity and Central Lakes Trust has a long history of supporting education initiatives within our region” CLT chief executive, Paul Allison, said.
