🌼✨ Embracing the Essence of Vasubaras: Cultivating Innovation and Growth! ✨🌼 Dear LinkedIn Community, As we revel in the festive spirit of Vasubaras, a time to honor the sacred bond between a farmer and their cattle, let's draw parallels between the agricultural essence and the world of innovation and growth. Just as a farmer nurtures their fields for a bountiful harvest, we, as professionals, cultivate our skills and ideas to reap success. Vasubaras teaches us the importance of acknowledging the roots—the foundation that sustains growth. 🌾 Sowing the Seeds of Innovation: In the corporate landscape, innovation is our fertile ground. Just like a farmer carefully selects the finest seeds, let's curate ideas that have the potential to thrive and revolutionize. Challenge the status quo, embrace creativity, and watch your professional landscape flourish! 🚀 Nurturing Growth, Cultivating Success: Much like a farmer tends to the needs of the soil, let's nurture our teams and colleagues. Providing the right environment for growth and success is essential. Offer support, share knowledge, and witness the collective growth that stems from a culture of collaboration. 🌟 Harvesting the Fruits of Teamwork: Vasubaras underscores the importance of teamwork—where both the farmer and their cattle play integral roles. In our professional spheres, teamwork is the catalyst for innovation. Celebrate diversity, leverage each other's strengths, and together, let's harvest the fruits of our collective efforts. 🌺 Expressing Gratitude: Just as Vasubaras is a day to express gratitude towards cattle, let's take a moment to appreciate the mentors, colleagues, and collaborators who have played a pivotal role in our professional journey. Acknowledging their contributions is a testament to the strength of our professional bonds. May this Vasubaras inspire a spirit of innovation, collaboration, and growth in all our endeavors. Wishing you all a prosperous and joyous celebration! #Vasubaras #Innovation #Growth #ProfessionalHarvest #Teamwork #Gratitude 🌱🌈

As well as reposting the below observations, that school gardens are very much needed if you take a deeper look into our schools, I'd also like to add my thoughts that had me awake at 4am today. Oke is a charity. Heres the world I find Oke competing in. There are 28,000 registered charities in New Zealand and over 100,000 community groups, if you include sports clubs, schools, new Givealittle pages created on the daily. Of the millions of dollars distributed to charities each year, around 75% is given to just 10% of the the registered charities, which will be the ones with the marketing teams, the grant writing departments, the ones running their charities off the interest from the funds sitting in their bank accounts. Of the funds which are made available for smaller community led organisations, the funding pots can't support the need. For example, a funder reported last week that for their latest round of funding, they received $2.2million in grant requests for a $1.2million pot of money. And the majority of the grant applications ticked all the boxes, so it came down to personal discretion of where the funding was allocated. This is the norm, not the exception. Twice, in the last week, I have talked with potential funders, who have absolutely loved what we do at Oke, great to see the community engagement, but alas, they felt our work should be government funded. Well, if it were government funded, it would make my life a whole lot easier and I wouldn't have wasted my time emailing said funders. Plus, if school gardens were government funded, you would have to wonder why schools are in such disrepair, playgrounds aren't being funded and teachers are having to deal with class sizes of 30 kids. You see, as highlighted in the post below, school gardens are very much needed and wanted, but they won't appear on any schools budget until those leading Ministry of Education begin to understand we're in 2023 and the needs of our tamariki, whanau and communities has drastically changed post-covid, let alone since these schools were built some hundred years ago. Sorry about the rant but people really need to open their eyes and understand that the charities with the TV ads, celebrity endorsements and huge marketing budgets, aren't the ones making the difference in our communities! Charities like Oke Charity are the ones doing the mahi on the ground. We are building school garden #34 this week, we've given over 20,000 local kids access to a space to learn and grow. Our school gardens are growing over a tonne of food every single year for our kids! More importantly, we're creating spaces for those kids who are really struggling in the classroom. This is me, asking for your help. Oke needs long term funding partners to achieve our goals and I would be more than happy to chat with you about what this looks like, please email me at [email protected].
