Regenerate!

They swept into our town like a herd of heifers, all young and frisky and set about teaching us old'uns how to suck eggs and sure enough they knew plenty about it!
The Regeneration Aotearoa crew are young, bright and mobile. They're travelling the country, showing films they've made themselves, meeting local 'changemakers' and getting to know what's happening in the boonies - hence their stop-over in Riverton. We hosted the group at the Environment Centre and here at home, where they wandered through the garden - food-forest, armed with cameras of all sorts, capturing insects, flowers, vistas and goodness knows what else on film. In the evening, they showed three of their films to an audience of locals - 'Without Rain' 'a simple story about a rural community in Nepal, that comes together to confront the challenges of climate change', 'In Your Hands', a journey with Tiki Tane, Warren Maxwell and Sean Donnelly to explore the joys of being a dad', and 'ReGeneration', a short filmic exploration of some of the awesome projects around the country.
It was great, they were fun and we were lucky to have been visited by them.
Tonight, they go onto Te Takutai o te Titi marae ki  Oraka for a weekend wananga and have invited my daughter to go with them. Lucky her! (Lucky us!).
