My 15 year old grandson Taane has just made me one very proud Nana... I am posting the following statement posted by him on my wall ... Dear John Key I know you probably wont get this, and if you do... will possibly ignore it. Firstly, congrats on making it another three years as prime minister. BUT I want to lay out a challenge for you. I challenge you to pack up your stuff from the beehive or whatever flash mansion you live in and come kick it with the poor people around NZ for one month. Step inside the shoes of those who are struggling to survive the week. Come shake the hands of those who really need your help, of those who are basically living off of the scraps from societys left overs. Lets see how far you get living on minimum wage, going broke before your next pay day, skipping possibly three days and nights with no food. I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. Visit our children in the hospitals, visit the families of those living in a three bedroom house with a family of 14 to cater for, yet working two or three jobs and STILL cannot afford to pay for their power or buy their 6 month old babies milk formula. As OUR Prime Minister and as the leader of this country, I challenge you to listen to the stories of my people. We need guidance, we need someone to rely on, we need someone who will listen to us too, someone who will speak on our behalf. We have a need to survive just like you do. We have a voice, and though it may be small and fragile, I can promise that we have a lot to offer to this country too. And dont get me wrong, there are a lot that we also need to work on. Therefore, help us find stable ground on the soil rotting beneath our feet. Meet us halfway. Give us a chance. Sincerely, Those who have been forced to place their trust in you.
