Our New Car

Meet Our Wheels: The Kia Seltos

Behind every Healthy Harold visit is a lot of driving. Getting our educator and the programme to school gates around Rotorua takes reliable transport, and thanks to some generous local supporters, we now have it.

We’re proud to introduce our Kia Seltos, made possible by three community champions: Rotary Sunrise, the Verry Foundation and Ebbets.

Why a car matters

A mobile classroom can only do its job if everything around it runs smoothly. Our educator travels between schools, sets up for lessons and carries the resources that bring our strands to life: Food & Nutrition, Human Biology, Identity & Resilience, Relationships & Communities and Substances. A dependable vehicle means we spend our time and funding on tamariki, not on travel headaches.

For a small charitable trust, a car is a big deal. Every dollar we don’t spend on transport is a dollar that goes toward keeping Healthy Harold visiting Rotorua classrooms.

Thank you to our sponsors

Rotary Sunrise has long been a backbone of community support in Rotorua. Your belief in what we do for local tamariki means the world to us.

The Verry Foundation stepped up to back this project, and we’re deeply grateful for your generosity and support.

Ebbets came on board as a local business supporter, showing what it looks like when businesses invest in the next generation.

Together, you’ve given us wheels. Next time you see the Seltos around town, you’ll know it’s a rolling reminder of what a community can do when it comes together.

Spot the car, spot the support

Keep an eye out for the Seltos on the road and around our schools. If your business or organisation would like to be part of what we do , we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you again, Rotary Sunrise, Verry Foundation and Ebbets. We couldn’t do it without you.
