A.T. Projects
Ao Tawhiti Projects
An AT Project is a project that takes your passion and interest and uses it to have an impact on the world. This could be impacting on one person or hundreds of people. Think of it like 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. You don't need to be Greta Thunberg, you just need to believe you can make a difference like she does!
