As many of you may know, I've been an active supporter of the Big Sleepout for the past 7 years. This year I'm once again putting myself on the concrete under a winter's sky for the night with the other AUT rough sleepers to raise sponsorship for people who have to do this every night. Please join me in supporting this very worthy cause by clicking on the link below and going to my page to make a donation. Thank you.
Tika, pono, aroha; integrity, respect and compassion.
With these as our core values, AUT is proud to once again host The Lifewise Big Sleepout – to boost awareness of the awful grind of homelessness and raise money to support the work that will eliminate it from our society.
We are also proud of our staff who take part – raising sponsorship by sleeping outside on a winter’s night. No, it’s not true rough sleeping, but the experience – and spending time with people who’ve done it for real – does give genuine insight. That’s why many do it year after year – it’s compelling.
So please support your colleagues by going to their Big Sleepout pages and donating.
On behalf of our fellow Aucklanders – particularly the kids – who have nowhere to sleep, nowhere to call home ... thank you.
By the way, students from the Master of Human Rights class have made a documentary, “On Our Doorstep – a voice for homeless youth.” You can see the trailer on the AUT Facebook page.
