Roots of Empathy in New Zealand |
 |
It teaches the world how to love and care for each other.”
-New Zealand student participant in Roots of Empathy
In 2011, Roots of Empathy in New Zealand is celebrating a major milestone – five years of gathering New Zealand children, their "tiny teachers" and families around Roots of Empathy green blankets. This makes it our longest running program outside Canada.
The Roots of Empathy program in New Zealand is delivered in conjunction with Barnardos New Zealand. Programs are now active in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Rotorua and more than 4,300 New Zealand children have participated.
If you are in New Zealand and would like to know more about the program, including information on volunteering as a Roots of Empathy family, please
