Ao Tawhiti Projects
A.T. Projects
An A.T. Project is a project that takes your passion and interest and uses it to have an impact on the world. Think of it as helping someone or something whilst doing what you love. Imagine what you could change in the world given the opportunity, or you might just want to make a difference in someone's life. The smallest of things can make a massive difference.
See the dedicated A. T. Projects page for more information and resources to help you plan your A.T. Project
