Meg says \u201cIt\u2019s a no brainer for Sharpe Marketing to invest in improving the literacy of this generation of kids. I grew up with a philosophy of giving back to the community and my business is in the position to donate so we do. I\u2019ve watched the programme unfold and love seeing the impact it has on tamariki. It doesn\u2019t matter your post code, if you can read, you have choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meg says to anyone thinking of becoming a funding partner \u201cDo it, it enriches the lives of the tamariki who receive books. We\u2019ve recently increased our contribution as we see the difference it makes to the children\u2019s futures. I strongly believe in investing in your local community and encourage anyone or any company, in either motu, to invest in their local communities too. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference and it\u2019s hard to turn a blind eye to the needs of future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meg says, \u201cIf you can read, you can make your own choices, you have the power to choose what you want to do in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Meg Luff from Sharpe Marketing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1317,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
