At the same
time as we're fundraising to make dreams
come true, we're looking for children
with dreams. If you know of a child
who is terminally ill or seriously disabled,
please request a Koru Care Trip application
form.
Most Koru Care trips involve a group
of about 40 people - approximately 26
children and 14 caregivers (including
two to three nurses). Each caregiver
is assigned two children to look after.
Itineraries are generally busy, but
we try to ensure that the children get
as much 'down time' as possible. On
most days, children will have some free
time to go swimming in the hotel pool
or relax in their rooms.
Nominated families are required to help
with fundraising in some way. This might
mean writing letters seeking sponsorship
or making a financial contribution.
A Koru Care child…
•
Has a condition,
disability or illness that
significantly impacts on
quality of life.
•
Is between
the ages of 7 and 14 years.
•
Has a medical
clearance to travel.
•
Can be cared
for by one caregiver.
•
Is capable

and joining in activities
planned for the trip.
•
Has a family

afford experiences similar
to those that would be gained
on one of our trips.

Care help, please download this application
