Unseen Heroes Partners with Auckland Zoo for Unforgettable Day Out for Young Carers
Camp Unity recently had the incredible opportunity to partner with Auckland Zoo in a heartwarming initiative that brought joy and relaxation to our young carers. Thanks to this special collaboration, our young heroes were treated to a day at the zoo, complete with free tickets that allowed them to unwind, explore, and have fun among the animals.
The excitement began early as our trip kicked off at 6:30 a.m., with buses picking up young carers from Rotorua, Hamilton, Tauranga, and Auckland. A generous discount from Ritchies NZ made the journey affordable, and a dedicated bus driver volunteered her time to ensure everyone arrived safely and comfortably.
Upon arrival, the young carers were greeted with enthusiasm and spent the day exploring Auckland Zoo, marveling at the diverse array of animals, and enjoying quality time with friends. Their smiles and laughter echoed throughout the zoo, making it clear just how much they appreciated the experience.
To support this special outing, Unseen Heroes organized several raffles to cover the costs of the bus and catering. A dedicated volunteer also crafted delicious lunches and snacks for everyone, ensuring a well-rounded and enjoyable day.
This memorable event was made possible by the wonderful partnership with Auckland Zoo, the generous discount from Ritchies NZ, the invaluable support of our volunteers, and the community’s enthusiastic participation in our raffles. We are deeply grateful for everyone’s contributions and are thrilled to have created such a joyful experience for our young carers.
