We've been looking back through photos from Packing Week lately, and realising just how many small moments helped shape Day One for the kids we support.

Moments like this one.

A backpack chosen just for them.
A fresh start.
A child getting ready to walk into a brand new school year feeling prepared, included, and confident.

Over the next few weeks, we're excited to share more of the stories, people, and behind-the-scenes moments that made Packing Week so special 🎒

These 4 phrases are the foundation of Back2School Project. They have, and will continue, to guide our mission to see young Kiwis with the tools they need to succeed in school.

1. We believe that every backpack we pack represents a child with dreams, potential, and a future full of possibilities.

2. We believe that those same dreams all start with the child's first day of school.

3. We believe that seeing these children equipped can only happen when communities help each other.

4. Finally, we believe that together we can break the cycle of hardship, one piece of stationery at a time.

If you share these beliefs, we would love to connect! Follow and share our socials or check out our website to see how you can get involved.

We had a blast at the Educators Market NZ yesterday!

It was a joy to get to share our mission and make some new friends. Shout out to Rach and Louisa for all their hard work!

If you couldn’t make it to the market day, don’t worry!! Our Hope Is A Verb merch will continue to be on special through King’s Birthday weekend!

You can check out the fun goodies on offer at back2schoolproject.nz/hopeisaverbshop (the link is in our bio)

Also peep the last photo for when we realised today that we still had our market gear in the car 😂😂

We are BEYOND THANKFUL to the crew that came out to help us move 350 boxes of sunscreen yesterday!

Quite honestly, we could not have done this without your help.

We also want to say a big thank you to the wonderful person who donated all of these sunscreens! Thank you for helping to look after our young kiwis ☀️
