30 October 2014 the Polish community re-enacted the journey of the first Polish refugees to New Zealand, 733 children, 70 years ago.
We are honored to be part of their journey and celebrations. Here’s what Molly, Red Cross refugee services manager, had to say from Pahiatua:
“Seventy years ago, New Zealand said yes. Yes, we will give you safety. Yes, we will give you protection. And today, we still say yes.”

Red Cross refugee Services are really proud to have been there then and that are still supporting refugee children and their families today.
