The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ is launching New Zealand’s first ever Fred Hollows Humanity Awards. The Awards are a part
of a global movement created to recognise passionate children striving to make the world around them better – just like
Fred Hollows did.
Any parent, teacher or member of the community can nominate a Year 6 student (10/11-year-old) who they feel embodies the
values of compassion, integrity and kindness.
All nominees will receive a certificate and one select nominee will become our 2020 Junior Ambassador. Thanks to our charity partner Specsavers, the Junior Ambassador will extend their humanity by allocating $5,000 to a
Fred Hollows Foundation NZ Pacific programme of their choice, to help us end avoidable blindness.
The Junior Ambassador will also be part of a global movement that includes young people from around the world who have
been nominated in their country for a Fred Hollows Humanity Awards. Such as young Australian Ross Kelly, who earned a
Fred Hollows Humanity Award nomination after he learned sign language to help profoundly deaf student, Isam Gurung, fit
in at his school.
To nominate a child that you know who is striving in some way to make the world a better place, please visit: www.hollows.org.nz/humanity-awards. Applications close September 16, 2019.
