Variety the Children's Charity

Many low decile schools have practical projects they are struggling to complete due to limited funds and manpower.

On Wednesday 30th October 2019 a team of 11 TSMs attended the Variety at Work Gardening & Building Project at Colwill School Massey, Auckland.

Many low decile schools have practical projects they are struggling to complete due to limited funds and manpower. Variety New Zealand provides these resources to low decile schools to help as much as possible. The programme also provided an opportunity for Henry Schein to give back to our local community. Henry Schein paid for and planted fruit trees, strawberry plants and herbs in 12 planter boxes as well as flowers in garden beds around the school. We also assembled and stained 2 BBQ tables for the children to enjoy.

We had this feedback from Variety - “It was a great day and your team worked very hard!! The gardens look great and the school is stoked with their new tables. It was a pleasure getting to know your team and I look forward to organising another day for them next year if you are keen to come back!”
