Feedback

Received from Youth Justice North, Auckland, October 2008

Re: Nathalie Johnson - Thank you for burns awareness presentation for our young people

Dear Nathalie Johnson,

On behalf of Youth Justice North, Korowai Manaaki, I would like to extend an immense thank you for your tremendous contribution and facilitation of the Burns awareness programme at Youth Justice North on Friday 10th October 2008

It was an awesome day, I strongly believe that our young people took the message on board and learnt a lot.

Our young people are really appreciative of the wealth of knowledge you brought with you and for this I am also really appreciative.

The programme was fantastic, and we have had a lot of positive feedback from young people and also staff. The visuals were a great tool and advantage with getting the message across and it also pays to mention that your set up was superb for the learning environment.

I hope that the community become aware to the severity of the burns as this is very educational and life-saving.

So once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH. We really appreciate your work.

Yours truly

Andrew Tauai
