The EC-Menz Wellington group came together in November 2015 at Childspace Northland for the final time this year. It was such a pleasure to see such a diverse group, including three talented men currently studying ECE at Victoria University. With a few refreshments, some good kai, and a huge variety of conversation topics it gave us great heart to see that there are such genuine people living and learning alongside young people in our region.
