Meet future Zookeeper, Amelia

Описание: Meet Future Zookeeper, Amelia!

When she grows up, she’d like to be a zookeeper - because she likes animals. She'd love to take care of a meerkat, and a rabbit, and a penguin. But, she would be scared when looking after the lions!

We’ve been lucky to spend time at three of our partner schools, talking to the children about what they want to be when they grow up. What was heart-warming is that many wanted to help their community by being a police officer, nurse, build houses and doctor. We also had a ninja-spiderman and mermaid. Keep an eye out for the rest of the series and some more pretty cute kids!

We believe that education is a child’s ticket out of poverty and supporting them with the basics means they can achieve their dreams – the sky is the limit! Kids who attend school regularly and have the fuel to engage in learning get to build better futures. They get to dream bigger and have a greater opportunity to become whatever they want to be.

These beautiful stories have been bought to life with lots of passion and in-kind support by our friends at DDB, Goodoil, and Blockhead.

You can’t learn when you’re hungry. All kids deserve an equal start in life. But when you show up to school cold, wet and hungry, the odds are already against you. Sadly, this is reality for 1,000s of Kiwi kids.

KidsCan believes education is a child’s ticket out of poverty. It is how we will break the cycle of hardship, and it is at the core of everything KidsCan does. We are leveling the playing field, giving children whose families are struggling the same opportunity to learn as anyone else. KidsCan.org.nz
